1
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,773
The Dow Jones stock average
dipped under 4000 points today.
2
00:00:36,937 --> 00:00:40,214
You see it in the market’s volatility.
Violent wealth loss
3
00:00:40,374 --> 00:00:44,379
If it's bad for the rich people, can you
imagine how bad it is for me and you?
4
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:46,718
Good evening, America, I'm Jay Knight.
5
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,420
Our nation is slipping deeper and deeper
into a crisis never seen before.
6
00:00:51,585 --> 00:00:55,761
Oil and gas shortages have crippled
manufacturing and transportation costs ....
7
00:00:55,923 --> 00:00:58,028
While conflicts in the Mideast...
8
00:00:58,191 --> 00:01:00,967
...have virtually out off all oil imports
to the United States.
9
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:05,705
Well, what are you saying?
10
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:09,575
Are you saying that the American people
aren't taking care of their own country?
11
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,613
Global States Oil Corporation...
12
00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:13,979
.. . suffered yet another major spill
off the Gulf Coast.
13
00:01:14,141 --> 00:01:15,711
We’re seeing an unprecedented ....
14
00:01:15,876 --> 00:01:19,756
As a result, rail travel has reemerged
as the only affordable means of freight...
15
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,655
...and passenger transportation.
16
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:34,338
Speaker
we would like to propose a bill...
17
00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:38,499
...to make it illegal to tire employees
from profitable corporations.
18
00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:41,737
Our government has put
a moratorium on all wage increases...
19
00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:44,007
...and recently passed the Fair Price Bill...
20
00:01:44,171 --> 00:01:47,277
...restricting increases
in the price of most goods and services.
21
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,182
This is your wake-up call, America.
22
00:01:49,343 --> 00:01:51,516
Another government relief ship
was hijacked...
23
00:01:51,678 --> 00:01:53,180
...by pirate Ragnar Danneskjold.
24
00:01:53,347 --> 00:01:57,022
Violence and crime
are skyrocketing throughout the nation.
25
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:04,200
Shifting to manual.
26
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:28,155
Good evening,
and welcome to The Jay Knight Hour.
27
00:02:28,315 --> 00:02:32,320
My guests tonight are James Taggart,
CEO of Taggart Transcontinental Railroad...
28
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:34,625
...Wesley Mouch,
a noted Washington lobbyist...
29
00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:37,667
...from the Philadelphia law firm
Young, Stephens and Sachs...
30
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,168
...and Ellis Wyatt,
the oil and gas entrepreneur...
31
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:43,399
...who is responsible
for the current economic boom in Colorado.
32
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:46,036
My first question is to Mr. Taggart.
33
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:49,078
Sin your company
is one of the few managing to survive...
34
00:02:49,236 --> 00:02:51,079
...in our current economic downturn.
35
00:02:51,238 --> 00:02:55,084
Yet, there have been dozens of derailments
on your lines in the last year alone.
36
00:02:55,242 --> 00:02:56,380
How do you explain that?
37
00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:58,750
With any growth
there can be growing pains.
38
00:02:58,912 --> 00:03:02,655
People shouldn't have to worry about how
they're gonna get where they need to go.
39
00:03:02,816 --> 00:03:04,921
We must act
to benefit society as a whole.
40
00:03:05,085 --> 00:03:07,395
People aren't gonna
be going anywhere without oil.
41
00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:12,367
That means the railroads like Mr. Taggart's
need to be fixing their railways here ....
42
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,563
- Can I get you something?
- A cup of coffee.
43
00:03:14,728 --> 00:03:16,605
He makes a very good point, Mr. Taggart.
44
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:19,403
Do you have any money?
I got plenty of money.
45
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:22,904
Taggart Transcontinental
is committed to sharing the burden ....
46
00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:25,277
Hey, what happened to you?
47
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,753
- Who's John Galt?
- We don't need more rail lines.
48
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:31,947
We just need the ones we have
to be reliable.
49
00:03:32,112 --> 00:03:35,924
Let me ask you, what can the
government do to help turn things around?
50
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,620
Well, prices are too high.
We have a nation in crisis.
51
00:03:38,785 --> 00:03:41,732
Every business must lend a helping hand,
Mr. Wyatt.
52
00:03:42,189 --> 00:03:46,194
Gasoline prices
are 37.50 a gallon.
53
00:03:46,359 --> 00:03:50,307
The Mideast has imploded,
creating a worldwide oil shortage.
54
00:03:50,464 --> 00:03:52,705
We have plenty of off
right here in the U. S.
55
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:53,901
Hello, Joy.
56
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:56,980
But because of political
shenanigans and back room deals ....
57
00:03:57,137 --> 00:03:58,912
One slice of cherry pie. As usual.
58
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,609
Punctual, as always. Thank you, dear.
59
00:04:01,775 --> 00:04:05,882
And Taggart Transcontinental is providing
Wyatt Oil excellent rail transportation...
60
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:08,322
...in order to get his oil to the people.
61
00:04:08,482 --> 00:04:10,484
Your Rio Norte Line is so incompetent...
62
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:13,153
...that I've had to switch
to the Phoenix/Durango.
63
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,267
- After years of excellent service from us.
- From your father.
64
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:19,267
Since you've taken the reins,
that company's gone downhill.
65
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:24,637
Oil prices have caused consumers
to be less reliant on trucks--
66
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:27,836
- Stay dry now.
- See you tomorrow, Mr. Mulligan.
67
00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:31,107
They've gone to the railroads
for the benefits that they provide.
68
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:35,777
People can't count on companies
like Taggart Transcontinental to deliver.
69
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:40,686
Midas Mulligan?
70
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:44,356
Who's asking?
71
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:47,021
Someone who knows what it's like
to work for himself...
72
00:04:47,187 --> 00:04:49,963
...and not let others feed off the profits
of his energy.
73
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:51,864
That's funny.
74
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:54,028
Exactly what I've been thinking.
75
00:04:54,528 --> 00:04:56,303
We're alike, you and I.
76
00:04:56,696 --> 00:04:58,505
Who are you?
77
00:05:28,128 --> 00:05:29,698
Eddie.
78
00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:33,037
What? No. Uh--
79
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,373
Hold on. Hold on.
80
00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:38,739
The Dow Jones stock
average dipped under 4000 points today.
81
00:05:39,239 --> 00:05:40,912
This is the deepest one-day drop ....
82
00:05:41,074 --> 00:05:43,247
No, not yet. I'm trying another channel.
83
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:47,085
Simply one of the worst
railroad accidents in recent history.
84
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:49,989
A Taggart Transcontinental freight train
has crashed...
85
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:53,393
...and derailed
in Colorado's Rocky Mountain region.
86
00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:55,328
Early reports put much of the blame...
87
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:58,435
...on the poor condition
of the 100-year-old railroad line.
88
00:05:58,592 --> 00:06:03,405
This rail disaster could delay eastbound
oil shipments by at least two weeks.
89
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:07,170
The accident is yet another downturn
for Taggart Transcontinental...
90
00:06:07,334 --> 00:06:09,541
...the largest railroad remaining
in the U. S.
91
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:11,273
I'm on my way in.
92
00:06:46,973 --> 00:06:49,977
I already know about the
derailment on the Rio Norte Line, Eddie.
93
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:53,318
Cancellations.
People are giving up trying to use the line.
94
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,653
Their business
is going to the Phoenix/Durango.
95
00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:59,422
I have new steel rails coming from--
That order is 13 months old.
96
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:01,998
The Phoenix/Durango
has cut deeply into our business.
97
00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:04,260
They expect to have Wyatt
as their main account.
98
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,267
He needs us
just as much as we need him.
99
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:09,635
Ellis Wyatt has put Taggart
Transcontinental on notice.
100
00:07:09,796 --> 00:07:12,970
He'd rather backlog with any competitor
than ship anything--
101
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:14,441
Wyatt's a greedy bastard.
102
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,478
We've been serving
the Colorado Region...
103
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:20,448
...since my great-great grandfather ran
this company. What happened to loyalty?
104
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:23,178
Perhaps the problem is
we haven't updated that branch...
105
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:25,584
...since your father ran the company.
106
00:07:28,181 --> 00:07:30,286
Are you accusing me
of not doing my job?
107
00:07:32,018 --> 00:07:35,022
Careful, Eddie,
it's one thing I learned from my father...
108
00:07:36,923 --> 00:07:38,197
...everyone's expendable.
109
00:07:38,358 --> 00:07:40,304
Let me be very clear, James.
110
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:41,996
Colorado is our last hope.
111
00:07:42,162 --> 00:07:46,702
If we don't do something about it,
there's not gonna be a railroad.
112
00:07:46,866 --> 00:07:49,346
I'm still the president,
regardless of my sister--
113
00:07:49,502 --> 00:07:51,106
Morning.
114
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:54,819
Eddie, can you give us a minute?
115
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:57,353
I need to have a conversation
with my brother.
116
00:07:57,510 --> 00:08:00,457
A meeting without your right-hand man?
117
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:02,824
Must be real important.
118
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:06,055
I've ordered the replacement rails
from Rearden Steel.
119
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:09,689
I have a contract with Orren Boyle.
You had a contract with Orren Boyle.
120
00:08:09,856 --> 00:08:11,335
Canceled.
You've no authority.
121
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:14,631
As much authority as you had
to do a backdoor deal with Orren Boyle.
122
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:16,899
There are consequences
to this accident, Jim.
123
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:21,512
We have to service Ellis Wyatt.
He is this company's main priority.
124
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:23,739
You just love
to keep feeding the monopolies.
125
00:08:23,903 --> 00:08:26,383
You keep pissing off
the heart of this operation...
126
00:08:26,539 --> 00:08:30,146
...Wyatt is gonna stop providing the blood
we need to keep this company alive.
127
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:32,221
You understand that?
Why Rearden Steel?
128
00:08:32,379 --> 00:08:34,381
There are companies
that need the money.
129
00:08:34,547 --> 00:08:38,017
It's his new metal.
That metal's completely untested.
130
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:41,927
The consensus of the best metallurgical
authorities are highly skeptical.
131
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:43,863
I'm not interested in their opinions.
132
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,431
Then who's do you go by?
My own.
133
00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:52,239
And what on earth do you know
about Rearden Metal?
134
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:54,606
It is tougher, cheaper,
lighter than steel...
135
00:08:54,768 --> 00:08:56,873
...and will outlast any metal in existence
136
00:08:57,037 --> 00:08:58,072
Says who?
137
00:08:58,238 --> 00:09:01,185
I studied engineering in college, Jim.
138
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,548
When I see things, I see them.
What'd you see?
139
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:07,123
Rearden's plans, research he's done.
This is the greatest metal on the market.
140
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,124
Dagny, nobody's used Rearden Metal.
We will.
141
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:13,856
Why do we have to be the first?
Do you wanna save Colorado or not?
142
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:16,591
I'm not taking responsibility
for any of this.
143
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:19,396
You don't have to take responsibility, Jim.
I will.
144
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,133
Just know that this is the consequence
of your policies.
145
00:09:25,632 --> 00:09:26,633
Which policies?
146
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,872
Your 13-month experiment
with Orren Boyle, for one.
147
00:09:30,036 --> 00:09:31,777
The Mexican catastrophe, for another.
148
00:09:31,938 --> 00:09:33,440
The bottom line is that...
149
00:09:33,606 --> 00:09:36,610
...we are going to fix the Rio Norte Line
with Rearden Metal.
150
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:40,656
I'm going to Philadelphia tonight
to finalize the deal with Hank Rearden.
151
00:09:40,814 --> 00:09:43,818
You're lucky.
What?
152
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:45,394
Other people are human.
153
00:09:45,552 --> 00:09:47,463
They're sensitive.
154
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:50,829
They can't just dedicate their whole lives
to metals and engines.
155
00:09:51,391 --> 00:09:53,496
You've never had any feelings.
156
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:55,503
I don't think you've ever felt a thing.
157
00:09:55,895 --> 00:09:57,499
No, Jim.
158
00:09:57,664 --> 00:10:00,338
I guess I've never felt anything at all.
159
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,700
All passengers for Train 1210.
160
00:10:31,865 --> 00:10:33,503
Taggart Transcontinental ....
Thanks.
161
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:58,533
it's here.
162
00:11:01,227 --> 00:11:04,697
And it's very nice.
163
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:07,675
Gwen, it's beautiful.
164
00:11:09,302 --> 00:11:11,714
You have more messages, Mr. Rearden.
165
00:11:11,871 --> 00:11:13,748
National Council of Metal Industries.
166
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:15,409
File it.
167
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:19,020
The State Science Institute.
File it.
168
00:11:20,213 --> 00:11:21,749
United Metal Workers Guild.
169
00:11:26,085 --> 00:11:28,565
Your last appointment of the day is here.
170
00:11:31,524 --> 00:11:32,730
Miss Taggart?
171
00:11:32,892 --> 00:11:34,667
He'll see you now.
172
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,242
Mr. Rearden?
173
00:11:44,404 --> 00:11:45,439
Miss Taggart.
174
00:11:45,872 --> 00:11:47,351
If you're here for your rails...
175
00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:50,078
...they won't be tempered
and cooled for a few days.
176
00:11:50,243 --> 00:11:51,950
I'm just here to discuss our deal.
177
00:11:52,412 --> 00:11:54,050
Please, sit.
178
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:02,458
So, what's the premium
to rush these rails?
179
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:04,562
Forty thousand dollars a ton.
180
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:08,638
That's the best price you can give me?
I could charge you double and you'd pay.
181
00:12:08,795 --> 00:12:10,138
You could.
182
00:12:10,296 --> 00:12:12,037
And I would
183
00:12:12,632 --> 00:12:15,135
But you won't.
Why won't I?
184
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:18,111
You need to have the Rio Norte rerailed
with your new metal.
185
00:12:18,271 --> 00:12:19,773
It will be its first showcase.
186
00:12:19,939 --> 00:12:22,647
And I'm gambling your new metal can do
what you say it can.
187
00:12:22,809 --> 00:12:24,311
I'm staking my business on it.
188
00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:26,423
I know what you mean.
189
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:28,783
Like I said, we need each other.
190
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:35,161
So if you can have the Rio Norte
completely rerailed in nine months...
191
00:12:35,321 --> 00:12:37,323
...I will give you $20,000 a ton.
192
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:41,833
Deal.
193
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:44,236
I'm curious.
194
00:12:44,397 --> 00:12:45,671
Is it all right with you...
195
00:12:45,832 --> 00:12:49,336
...that I'm squeezing every penny of profit
I can from your emergency?
196
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:52,506
I have to get the Rio Norte
completely rerailed in nine months...
197
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:54,811
...or Taggart Transcontinental will crash.
198
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:57,181
Doing their best
to make it harder for you
199
00:12:57,343 --> 00:12:59,653
Yes, but it's useless
to get angry with people...
200
00:12:59,812 --> 00:13:02,088
...like my brother
and his friends in Washington.
201
00:13:02,248 --> 00:13:05,491
I don't have time for it.
I have to undo what they've done.
202
00:13:05,652 --> 00:13:07,427
And after?
203
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:11,329
After, they won't matter anyway.
204
00:13:11,491 --> 00:13:12,993
I was just heading out myself.
205
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:14,866
Can I walk you to your car?
206
00:13:15,695 --> 00:13:16,696
Do you need a ride?
207
00:13:16,863 --> 00:13:19,707
No, thank you.
I walk home most nights.
208
00:13:19,866 --> 00:13:22,005
It gives me a chance to think.
209
00:13:22,502 --> 00:13:24,277
Well, I hope that doesn't catch on
210
00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:26,610
It would put me out of business.
211
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:32,547
If your new metal works,
have you thought of the implications?
212
00:13:32,712 --> 00:13:35,454
Yeah. Their uses are almost endless.
213
00:13:35,782 --> 00:13:39,889
Naval ships, armor plating,
even spacecraft.
214
00:13:40,053 --> 00:13:44,024
Can you imagine a commercial jet
twice the size with half the weight?
215
00:13:44,190 --> 00:13:46,397
Commercial airlines.
216
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:50,499
You really do wanna put me
out of business, huh?
217
00:14:19,492 --> 00:14:22,598
Remember, there was 20 people--
I love this.
218
00:14:22,762 --> 00:14:25,106
I can't believe I did this.
And then--
219
00:14:25,264 --> 00:14:27,266
Well, look who's finally home.
220
00:14:27,433 --> 00:14:29,413
Henry,
Paul's been waiting here for hours.
221
00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:30,946
- Hello, Henry.
- Hey, Paul.
222
00:14:31,104 --> 00:14:33,175
I know. I'm late.
Could have called.
223
00:14:33,339 --> 00:14:37,879
Henry, do you mind holding
the 10th of December open for me?
224
00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:39,717
That's three months away.
225
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,086
I don't know what I'm doing next week.
226
00:14:42,248 --> 00:14:44,956
We started a major new pour today.
Oh, cheers.
227
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:47,462
It's our wedding anniversary, Henry.
December 10th'?
228
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:50,760
Henry isn't interested
in anything that doesn't tie in to his work.
229
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:52,630
I know that you are very busy...
230
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:55,398
...but I would very much like
for you to be there.
231
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:58,132
Of course, Lillian. I'll be there.
Thank you, dear.
232
00:14:58,297 --> 00:14:59,901
I want it to be special.
233
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:01,977
Everyone will be there.
234
00:15:02,135 --> 00:15:03,705
Have you had any dinner, Henry?
235
00:15:03,870 --> 00:15:06,783
No, I was busy working,
but I'm not hungry anyway.
236
00:15:06,939 --> 00:15:09,579
That's the trouble with you.
You work too hard.
237
00:15:11,711 --> 00:15:12,815
Mm.
238
00:15:14,147 --> 00:15:17,424
Ooh. What is this?
239
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:21,793
I had it made
from the first pour of Rearden Metal.
240
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,832
You're giving me a railroad spike?
241
00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:32,507
It's wonderful. It is
242
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:34,838
it's original.
243
00:15:35,001 --> 00:15:38,608
I'll be the toast of the town
wearing a piece of the same metal.”
244
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:43,743
...used to build railroads and bridges
and sewer pipes and oil tanks and--
245
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:45,116
You are so selfish, Henry.
246
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:47,656
Oh. Phillip, it is not the gift,
it's the intention.
247
00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:50,522
The intentions pure selfishness,
it seems to me.
248
00:15:50,683 --> 00:15:54,028
I mean, another man would have given
his wife a diamond bracelet...
249
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:57,191
...if he wanted to give her a gift
for her pleasure, not his.
250
00:15:57,356 --> 00:15:58,960
No. The, uh, chain is appropriate.
251
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:02,663
I think it's the chain
by which he holds us all in bondage
252
00:16:04,030 --> 00:16:07,807
Henry's poured his metal today
and I have the first trophy.
253
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,002
It's sweet.
254
00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:10,875
It's pathetic, Lilly.
255
00:16:11,037 --> 00:16:12,675
Thank you.
256
00:16:17,043 --> 00:16:18,989
I hope you didn't come here
for anything.
257
00:16:19,145 --> 00:16:21,557
Henry.
Phillip.
258
00:16:23,349 --> 00:16:25,386
What are you doing with yourself
these days?
259
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:27,656
I'm working
for Friends of Global Awareness.
260
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:29,895
I know them
261
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:33,059
What do you want?
Money.
262
00:16:34,861 --> 00:16:36,670
Doesn't everyone?
263
00:16:37,063 --> 00:16:41,011
Call my office first thing in the morning.
I'll authorize a hundred grand for you.
264
00:16:44,804 --> 00:16:47,080
You don't care
about helping the underprivileged.
265
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,914
No, Phillip, I don't,
but it will make you happy.
266
00:16:50,076 --> 00:16:52,078
It's not for me, Hank.
267
00:16:52,245 --> 00:16:55,021
It's for the benefit of the less privileged.
268
00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:58,594
Do you think I can have the money wired
to my account?
269
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:00,094
A wire? Why?
270
00:17:00,253 --> 00:17:02,255
Well, the thing is
it's a progressive group.
271
00:17:02,421 --> 00:17:04,765
They wouldn't appreciate your name
on a check.
272
00:17:06,592 --> 00:17:08,003
You're kidding me.
273
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,937
No, it would embarrass us
to have you on the list of our contributors.
274
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,705
You shouldn’t have given Phillip
that money.
275
00:17:17,236 --> 00:17:19,842
By the way,
I don't care what the industry says, Henry
276
00:17:20,006 --> 00:17:22,213
Rearden Metal, it's terrific.
277
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,685
I just hope
you don't run into any trouble.
278
00:17:24,844 --> 00:17:25,879
What trouble?
279
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:28,423
Well, you're not very popular, Hank.
280
00:17:28,581 --> 00:17:30,925
I haven't had any complaints
from my customers.
281
00:17:31,083 --> 00:17:33,586
Yeah? That's not what I mean.
282
00:17:33,753 --> 00:17:35,232
You know what you should do?
283
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:39,131
You ought to get yourself a good
press agent to sell you to the public.
284
00:17:39,292 --> 00:17:41,898
It's my metal I'm selling. Not me.
Thank you.
285
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:46,976
But you don't want the public against you.
Public opinion, you know, can mean a lot.
286
00:17:47,133 --> 00:17:50,478
As far as I can tell, it doesn't mean
a damn thing, one way or another.
287
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:52,143
The press is against you.
288
00:17:52,638 --> 00:17:54,640
They have time to waste. I don't.
289
00:17:54,807 --> 00:17:57,151
Well, they say you're intractable,
you're ruthless.
290
00:17:57,310 --> 00:17:58,812
Your only goal is to make money.
291
00:18:00,112 --> 00:18:01,921
My only goal is to make money.
292
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,083
Yeah, but you shouldn't say it.
293
00:18:06,052 --> 00:18:09,261
Hank, I'm on your side
294
00:18:11,591 --> 00:18:13,593
How's your man in Washington?
295
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,568
Wesley Mouch?
296
00:18:15,728 --> 00:18:18,971
Well, he's fine, I suppose.
Good.
297
00:18:19,131 --> 00:18:21,907
It's important
that your man in Washington is fine.
298
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,583
What are you trying to imply, Paul?
299
00:18:27,306 --> 00:18:30,082
Is there something going on
that I should know about?
300
00:18:30,242 --> 00:18:32,153
No. it's nothing
301
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:35,690
It's just you don't know
who's loyal these days.
302
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:41,997
What is wrong with the world, Paul?
303
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:44,367
Why ask useless questions?
304
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:46,030
How deep is the ocean?
305
00:18:46,192 --> 00:18:47,535
How high is the sky?
306
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:50,630
Who is John Galt?
307
00:18:56,369 --> 00:19:00,784
Henry Rearden claims that his steel is
lighter than even the cheapest brands...
308
00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:04,046
...but it's 10 times stronger,
this is physically impossible, Jim.
309
00:19:04,210 --> 00:19:07,054
You're inviting disaster if you use it.
Dagny is, not me.
310
00:19:07,213 --> 00:19:09,215
Well, something has to be done.
311
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:10,520
Agreed.
312
00:19:10,683 --> 00:19:14,153
I believe you know Wesley Mouch,
Rearden's man in Washington.
313
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,163
You know what I like about you, Wesley?
314
00:19:16,322 --> 00:19:18,893
You're a one-word man.
True.
315
00:19:19,058 --> 00:19:22,403
All right, something has got
to be done about the iron ore shortage.
316
00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:25,508
It threatens
the very existence of the steel industry.
317
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:28,578
I don't think it's fair
that one company has its own supply.
318
00:19:28,734 --> 00:19:30,236
- Rearden Steel.
- Exactly.
319
00:19:30,403 --> 00:19:35,079
It's not in the public interest
to let one man destroy an entire industry.
320
00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:38,916
If we're gonna bring Rearden down
we should do it from the inside.
321
00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:41,424
Under my guidance, of course.
322
00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:45,756
The National Council of Metal Industries
has completed a report...
323
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:48,762
...that draws public opinion
against Rearden Metal.
324
00:19:48,921 --> 00:19:51,765
Excuse me, I just wanna make sure
that Hank doesn't get hurt.
325
00:19:51,924 --> 00:19:53,494
Paul, it's his own fault.
326
00:19:53,659 --> 00:19:55,730
He's not exactly open to competition
327
00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:58,375
A monopoly. To be exact.
328
00:19:58,531 --> 00:19:59,908
We are working on a bill.
329
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:02,672
It's called
The Equalization of Opportunity.
330
00:20:02,835 --> 00:20:05,111
It proposes to limit
the number of businesses...
331
00:20:05,271 --> 00:20:08,582
...that any one person owns
to one business.
332
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:11,017
However,
we're gonna need your help, Jimmy.
333
00:20:11,177 --> 00:20:14,522
We need you
to grease the palms of your politicians...
334
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,456
...in order to get legislation
we're spearheading passed.
335
00:20:17,616 --> 00:20:19,960
What will Taggart Transcontinental
get in return?
336
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,793
I can see to it that the exclusive grip...
337
00:20:22,955 --> 00:20:26,027
...that Dan Conway's Phoenix/Durango
railroad has in Colorado...
338
00:20:26,192 --> 00:20:27,637
...can come to a halt.
339
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:30,435
Paul, this is not personal.
340
00:20:30,596 --> 00:20:33,975
Everybody needs to share
the burdens we face.
341
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:35,806
Especially Rearden.
342
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:46,620
- Isn't that Francisco D'Anconia?
- That's him.
343
00:20:47,146 --> 00:20:50,150
- Francisco.
- Throwing away his daddy's money.
344
00:20:52,618 --> 00:20:55,098
Did you get in on that ore mine deal
in Mexico?
345
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:56,289
We all did.
346
00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:59,925
He may be a slacker, but he makes
business investments that pay off.
347
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:02,732
Well, that's it for me, gentlemen.
I have to go too.
348
00:21:02,895 --> 00:21:04,738
Um, Mr. Taggart. Orren.
349
00:21:04,897 --> 00:21:08,140
Uh, Paul, uh,
maybe you'd like a lift in my limo?
350
00:21:10,503 --> 00:21:11,607
Of course. Thank you.
351
00:21:11,771 --> 00:21:13,478
Please. This way.
Gentlemen.
352
00:21:13,639 --> 00:21:15,175
- Good night, Paul.
- Orren.
353
00:21:15,341 --> 00:21:16,945
Wesley.
354
00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:25,325
Jim? What is it?
355
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:28,496
Well, if he's such a great businessman...
356
00:21:28,654 --> 00:21:31,692
...then why hasn't a single train
filled with ore left Mexico yet?
357
00:21:32,525 --> 00:21:34,027
Isn't that what we invested in?
358
00:21:34,193 --> 00:21:37,367
D'Anconia has invested billions
developing their infrastructure.
359
00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:40,704
But he also bought in himself.
360
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:42,004
He must know something.
361
00:21:42,168 --> 00:21:45,206
- What are you thinking?
- I think it's the ore reserves.
362
00:21:45,371 --> 00:21:47,373
I think they must be huge.
363
00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:51,545
Well, the success of my Mexican expansion
depends on those mines, Orren.
364
00:21:52,178 --> 00:21:54,317
Uh, sure.
365
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,950
This time next year,
Phoenix/Durango needs to be a memory.
366
00:21:59,652 --> 00:22:02,792
Thank you, Mr. McNamara.
I look forward to working with you as well.
367
00:22:02,955 --> 00:22:05,231
Frankly,
I appreciate working directly with you.
368
00:22:05,391 --> 00:22:07,029
- My pleasure. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
369
00:22:07,193 --> 00:22:08,297
Who was that?
370
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:12,203
I found an excellent contractor to takeover
the rebuilding of the Rio Norte Line.
371
00:22:12,364 --> 00:22:13,399
That was quick.
372
00:22:13,566 --> 00:22:17,173
You'd be surprised how quickly things
get done when you do some actual work...
373
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:19,680
...and don't rely on political favors.
374
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:31,257
Is this accurate? Just one passenger train
per day on the Mexican line?
375
00:22:31,417 --> 00:22:33,419
And one freight every other night?
Yes.
376
00:22:33,586 --> 00:22:35,725
How are the Mexicans gonna
develop the area...
377
00:22:35,888 --> 00:22:38,164
...with a single passenger train
once a day?
378
00:22:38,324 --> 00:22:39,769
They're not, Jim.
379
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:43,202
You should know I moved everything
of value out of Mexico a month ago.
380
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:46,036
There's nothing for looters
once the Mexicans nationalize.
381
00:22:46,198 --> 00:22:49,907
That Mexican line was helping those
destitute people get back in the game.
382
00:22:50,836 --> 00:22:52,577
And it was great PR for this company,
383
00:22:52,738 --> 00:22:54,945
I would have happily
put a railroad in Mexico...
384
00:22:55,107 --> 00:22:57,781
...if there was
a reason to build up the region...
385
00:22:58,344 --> 00:22:59,846
...but I didn't see one.
386
00:23:00,012 --> 00:23:03,721
You can't just take everything away
from people who need our help.
387
00:23:05,784 --> 00:23:07,354
Move.
Okay
388
00:23:08,554 --> 00:23:11,865
Miss Taggart?
Oh. Hello, Owen, please, have a seat.
389
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:13,594
Thank you.
390
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:16,965
Um ....
391
00:23:19,298 --> 00:23:22,302
I've have come to give you my resignation.
Effective immediately.
392
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:25,145
Why?
For a personal reason.
393
00:23:25,304 --> 00:23:27,113
Are you dissatisfied here?
No.
394
00:23:27,273 --> 00:23:29,219
Have you received a better offer?
No.
395
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:31,651
I'm sorry, I don't understand, are you ill?
No.
396
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:33,949
Are you leaving the city?
No.
397
00:23:34,113 --> 00:23:36,889
But you no longer wish to work
for Taggart Transcontinental?
398
00:23:37,049 --> 00:23:39,393
Miss Taggart, I assure you...
399
00:23:39,551 --> 00:23:42,760
...um, no person, matter
or event connected to my job...
400
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:45,493
...has anything to do
with my decision to leave.
401
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:49,837
I actually called you in here today
to offer you a promotion.
402
00:23:49,995 --> 00:23:51,975
I wanted you to manage
the Rio Norte Line.
403
00:23:53,065 --> 00:23:57,013
That's very kind of you, Miss Taggart...
404
00:23:57,169 --> 00:24:00,275
...but, um, my decision has been made.
405
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:03,116
I'll double what any other railroad
is offering.
406
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:05,016
I won't be working for any railroad
407
00:24:05,177 --> 00:24:08,351
But you will be working?
Yes, um--
408
00:24:09,248 --> 00:24:11,091
Look, I came to tell you I'm leaving...
409
00:24:11,250 --> 00:24:16,029
...because I promised you once that I would
and I wanna keep my word.
410
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:18,867
Write your own ticket, Owen.
411
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,941
Name your price.
412
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:29,037
I want you to stay
413
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:31,975
I'm sorry, Miss Taggart.
414
00:24:33,539 --> 00:24:35,382
So there's nothing I can offer you?
415
00:24:35,874 --> 00:24:38,047
Nothing, nothing on Earth.
416
00:24:38,544 --> 00:24:42,219
I'm sorry, Owen, I have to ask
and I'd like the truth.
417
00:24:42,381 --> 00:24:43,553
Why are you leaving?
418
00:24:49,288 --> 00:24:51,393
Who is John Galt?
419
00:25:02,901 --> 00:25:04,710
All done then?
420
00:25:09,408 --> 00:25:12,753
Where are you going?
I have some work to do.
421
00:25:16,015 --> 00:25:18,188
Fix me a drink?
Of course.
422
00:25:46,178 --> 00:25:47,885
Miss Taggart?
423
00:25:48,047 --> 00:25:49,549
Am I calling too late?
424
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:54,087
Not at all. What's going on?
425
00:25:54,253 --> 00:25:55,288
Nothing.
426
00:25:55,454 --> 00:25:57,456
Well, um...
427
00:25:57,623 --> 00:25:59,569
...something
428
00:25:59,725 --> 00:26:01,636
I don't know
why I thought of calling you.
429
00:26:01,794 --> 00:26:03,967
It's fine, Dagny.
430
00:26:04,129 --> 00:26:05,301
What happened?
431
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:08,574
One of my best employees quit today.
432
00:26:09,368 --> 00:26:11,439
Owen Kellogg.
433
00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:15,141
I was actually grooming him
for a management position...
434
00:26:15,307 --> 00:26:19,119
...and he just up and left.
435
00:26:19,278 --> 00:26:20,621
He couldn't even tell me why
436
00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:22,315
He just said:
437
00:26:23,048 --> 00:26:24,618
"Who is John Galt?"
438
00:26:28,654 --> 00:26:31,931
Why are so many
great men disappearing?
439
00:26:33,325 --> 00:26:35,305
It's going to be okay, Dagny.
440
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:38,172
You know, when you say that,
I actually believe it.
441
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:40,310
Dagny, what we're doing...
442
00:26:40,732 --> 00:26:44,179
...my metal, your railway--
443
00:26:44,503 --> 00:26:46,346
it's us who move the world...
444
00:26:46,505 --> 00:26:48,746
...and it's us who will pull it through.
445
00:26:48,907 --> 00:26:49,942
I know.
446
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:53,287
Goodnight.
447
00:26:54,446 --> 00:26:56,016
Goodnight.
448
00:27:07,326 --> 00:27:09,431
Richard McNamara?
449
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:12,973
I'm McNamara.
450
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:15,203
Are you here
from Taggart Transcontinental?
451
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:16,471
No, I'm not.
452
00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:19,349
What are you selling, pal?
453
00:27:19,505 --> 00:27:24,352
Nothing, I'm simply offering a society
that cultivates individual achievement.
454
00:27:24,510 --> 00:27:26,387
I know where such a place exists.
455
00:27:37,556 --> 00:27:39,058
And then we do what?
456
00:27:39,224 --> 00:27:43,400
We say its purpose is to prevent destructive
competition between railroads.
457
00:27:43,562 --> 00:27:44,802
We build public opinion...
458
00:27:44,963 --> 00:27:47,569
...against encroachment
on existing train routes then--
459
00:27:47,733 --> 00:27:50,577
And then the National Alliance Of Railroads
proposes a rule.
460
00:27:50,736 --> 00:27:52,716
The Anti Dog-Eat-Dog rule.
461
00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:54,350
Every member must subordinate...
462
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:57,385
...his own interests
for the collective needs of the industry.
463
00:27:57,543 --> 00:28:01,753
But, in fact, we're squeezing
Dan Conway out of Colorado.
464
00:28:01,914 --> 00:28:05,191
You are thinking
like a politician, Jimmy.
465
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:17,007
Mexican authorities
seized land throughout the country today.
466
00:28:17,162 --> 00:28:19,073
Most affected
were the San Sebastian Mines...
467
00:28:19,231 --> 00:28:21,677
...where international playboy
Francisco D'Anconia...
468
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:24,746
...and other investors,
including Taggart Transcontinental...
469
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:28,112
...and Associated Steel
have reportedly lost billions.
470
00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:35,455
The San Sebastian Line has been seized
by the Mexican government.
471
00:28:35,614 --> 00:28:39,221
It's been nationalized
as Dagny predicted.
472
00:28:39,785 --> 00:28:42,629
An emergency board meeting
has been called.
473
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,868
I can assure you
that there is no need for panic.
474
00:28:49,027 --> 00:28:51,303
And I have full confidence
that our government...
475
00:28:51,463 --> 00:28:54,137
...will negotiate
an equitable settlement with Mexico.
476
00:28:54,299 --> 00:28:56,609
I foresaw the possibility
of this type of event...
477
00:28:56,768 --> 00:29:01,444
...and took every precaution to protect
the interests of Taggart Transcontinental.
478
00:29:01,607 --> 00:29:04,486
Several months ago, I ordered Operations
to cut the schedule...
479
00:29:04,643 --> 00:29:07,647
...on the San Sebastian Line
down to a single train a day...
480
00:29:07,813 --> 00:29:11,090
...and to remove everything of value
from Mexico.
481
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:12,820
Now, because of my actions...
482
00:29:12,985 --> 00:29:15,829
...billions of company dollars
have been saved.
483
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:23,329
No, this is no trick.
I checked it all out, Jimmy.
484
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:26,840
D'Anconia used his own cash
and now he has lost it all in those mines.
485
00:29:26,999 --> 00:29:30,503
He is too smart for that.
He must have something up his sleeve.
486
00:29:30,669 --> 00:29:33,650
Well, let's hope so.
What do your friends in Washington think?
487
00:29:33,805 --> 00:29:36,581
They don't know anything.
Well, he knows something.
488
00:29:36,742 --> 00:29:39,450
And we need to find out what it is
and get in on it too.
489
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:42,922
Ruth Anne, why haven't you gotten me
a meeting with D'Anconia yet?
490
00:29:43,081 --> 00:29:45,687
I wasn't able to get a meeting.
Why not?
491
00:29:45,851 --> 00:29:49,697
Senor D'Anconia says
that you bore him, Mr. Taggart.
492
00:29:53,692 --> 00:29:56,263
Yeah, okay, yeah.
There's something else, Dagny.
493
00:29:56,428 --> 00:29:59,671
There was a call just now
from the Rio Norte branch in Colorado
494
00:29:59,831 --> 00:30:01,868
Richard McNamara
never showed up for work.
495
00:30:02,034 --> 00:30:03,104
Well, go find him.
496
00:30:03,268 --> 00:30:05,874
Well, we've looked and we found a note.
497
00:30:06,371 --> 00:30:09,318
What did if say?
It said, "Who is John Galt?"
498
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:12,887
- What does that mean?
- Was explained once.
499
00:30:13,045 --> 00:30:15,047
"Don't ask questions
nobody can answer."
500
00:30:15,547 --> 00:30:18,824
- Can you get Hank Rearden for me?
- He actually called earlier.
501
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:21,794
He's in town and he wants to know
if you're available.
502
00:30:22,454 --> 00:30:24,400
And what did you say?
503
00:30:24,556 --> 00:30:26,729
He's meeting you at 4:30.
504
00:30:28,727 --> 00:30:30,536
Thanks, Eddie.
505
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:43,517
We need to talk.
You guys carry on, I'll catch up.
506
00:30:43,909 --> 00:30:46,014
You think I've ruined this company.
507
00:30:46,178 --> 00:30:49,853
Do you and Orren Boyle have a plan for
making up for the Mexican line's losses?
508
00:30:50,015 --> 00:30:52,996
Yes, I do.
The Anti Dog-Eat-Dog rule.
509
00:30:53,151 --> 00:30:55,427
Wyatt will have
to use Taggart Transcontinental."
510
00:30:55,587 --> 00:30:57,828
...because we will be the only railroad
in town.
511
00:30:57,989 --> 00:31:02,699
The Phoenix/Durango is a good line, Jim.
Conway put his lifeblood into its success.
512
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:05,865
You have to take radical steps to survive.
What does that mean?
513
00:31:06,031 --> 00:31:07,942
Go see your old boyfriend, Francisco...
514
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,774
...find out why he screwed us out
of billions of dollars?
515
00:31:11,737 --> 00:31:13,444
It will never happen.
516
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:16,245
You'll never open those old wounds
517
00:31:18,577 --> 00:31:19,920
Get me Dan Conway.
518
00:31:25,617 --> 00:31:26,789
I'm Ellis Wyatt
519
00:31:27,285 --> 00:31:29,959
- How can I help you?
- I'll make this quick.
520
00:31:30,455 --> 00:31:35,063
I came here today
because, well, I met your brother...
521
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:39,073
...and I was hoping someone
in this business still had a brain.
522
00:31:39,231 --> 00:31:41,609
If you and your brother try
to undermine me...
523
00:31:41,767 --> 00:31:45,738
...or go to the government like you did
to destroy my best friend, Dan Conway--
524
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:47,474
Maybe you should let me explain--
525
00:31:47,639 --> 00:31:49,812
Maybe you should let me finish speaking!
526
00:31:49,975 --> 00:31:52,819
- Okay.
- Dagny?
527
00:31:52,978 --> 00:31:54,480
Okay.
528
00:31:54,646 --> 00:32:00,426
Now that you have effectively closed down
the Phoenix/Durango railroad line...
529
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:07,093
...because of
this new Anti Dog-Eat-Dog bullshit...
530
00:32:07,993 --> 00:32:11,839
...I have no choice but to get back
into business with you Taggarts again.
531
00:32:11,997 --> 00:32:14,341
I had nothing to do
with the creation of that bill.
532
00:32:14,499 --> 00:32:19,608
I will not lower my business standards
to your lousy level of incompetence.
533
00:32:19,771 --> 00:32:22,274
Shall I explain what I intend to do in--
No.
534
00:32:22,441 --> 00:32:24,853
Now that I'm forced to use
your railroad...
535
00:32:25,010 --> 00:32:28,184
...all I want from you
is dependable transportation.
536
00:32:31,850 --> 00:32:35,457
You will get the transportation
you need, Mr. Wyatt.
537
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:37,793
I promise you that
538
00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:40,192
We'll see.
539
00:32:46,131 --> 00:32:48,111
Is everything all right, Dagny?
540
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:50,041
I don't know.
541
00:32:52,838 --> 00:32:55,842
Eddie?
Yes, Dagny?
542
00:32:58,443 --> 00:33:01,981
Can you get me a dinner appointment
with Francisco D'Anconia?
543
00:33:02,147 --> 00:33:03,490
What about Henry Rearden?
544
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:08,396
I guess I have two dinner dates then.
545
00:33:19,865 --> 00:33:20,900
In the end, he's right.
546
00:33:21,066 --> 00:33:25,014
If Wyatt fails, Taggart Transcontinental
and everyone else around him goes down.
547
00:33:25,170 --> 00:33:28,174
I have 50 miles of my new rail
tempered and ready to roll.
548
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:32,083
With your new rail, I can triple my load
capacity but I need more diesel engines
549
00:33:32,244 --> 00:33:35,088
I barely have enough parts
to keep the ones I have working now.
550
00:33:35,247 --> 00:33:37,921
Hmm. Engine parts are hard to come by
these days.
551
00:33:38,083 --> 00:33:41,189
I have engines I ordered two years ago
and still have not received.
552
00:33:41,353 --> 00:33:44,061
There was a company that made
terrific engines years ago...
553
00:33:44,222 --> 00:33:46,224
...uh, in Wisconsin, I think.
554
00:33:46,391 --> 00:33:50,931
It closed suddenly, but they might have
machine tools and parts that you can use
555
00:33:51,096 --> 00:33:52,598
I can look into it if you like.
556
00:33:53,765 --> 00:33:56,245
There is so much at stake.
557
00:33:57,235 --> 00:33:59,442
We have to make it.
558
00:34:03,341 --> 00:34:06,879
Did you get Lillian's invitation
to our anniversary party?
559
00:34:08,747 --> 00:34:12,217
I did, thank you.
560
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:14,963
I can't speak for James,
but I will be there.
561
00:34:16,955 --> 00:34:18,263
Good.
562
00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:23,302
Did you hear about Richard McNamara?
I did.
563
00:34:24,963 --> 00:34:28,376
Can you imagine what will happen
if this trend continues?
564
00:34:28,967 --> 00:34:31,208
Who will be left to keep things running?
565
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:34,714
Your brother and his friends
in Washington, people like that,
566
00:34:34,873 --> 00:34:35,908
That's depressing.
567
00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:40,619
I have to go.
568
00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:07,616
Ha, ha. Whoo!
569
00:35:07,772 --> 00:35:09,115
That was refreshing.
570
00:35:10,141 --> 00:35:13,418
If you came here in order to remind me
how lovely you are...
571
00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:14,613
...well done.
572
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:19,592
San Sebastian, you did it cold-bloodedly
and with full intention.
573
00:35:20,352 --> 00:35:21,695
Wine, please?
No.
574
00:35:21,853 --> 00:35:23,526
Yes.
575
00:35:23,688 --> 00:35:27,636
What is it that I did with full intention?
You knew those mines were worthless.
576
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:30,363
Why did I invest?
Can you think of a motive?
577
00:35:30,528 --> 00:35:33,532
You knew they were gonna seize
those mines, didn't you?
578
00:35:33,698 --> 00:35:36,201
What you were after
were your American stockholders.
579
00:35:36,368 --> 00:35:39,178
That's part of the truth.
What is the rest of the truth?
580
00:35:39,337 --> 00:35:42,477
- It's for you to figure out.
- And here you are, sir.
581
00:35:45,110 --> 00:35:48,853
I came here because I want you to know
I'm beginning to understand your motives.
582
00:35:49,014 --> 00:35:50,550
If you did, you wouldn't come.
583
00:35:50,715 --> 00:35:54,527
You get a thrill from swindling people
in order to watch them squirm.
584
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:57,997
They provided a spectacle on a grand scale,
especially your brother.
585
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:00,397
He trusted your name and your honor.
586
00:36:00,558 --> 00:36:03,232
They did, they did. I'm aware Of that
587
00:36:04,229 --> 00:36:07,472
Do you find this amusing?
Not at all.
588
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:11,580
Your brother and his friends know nothing
of the copper mining industry.
589
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:14,005
They consider knowledge
to be superfluous.
590
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:17,915
So you did betray them intentionally?
That's for you to decide.
591
00:36:18,076 --> 00:36:21,319
They rode on my brain and on the premise
that I wanted to make money.
592
00:36:21,479 --> 00:36:25,256
What happened to you, Francisco?
Where is the man I used to love?
593
00:36:32,724 --> 00:36:35,170
You'll figure it out in time.
594
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:39,941
Just answer the question, please
595
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:45,177
Who is John Galt?
596
00:37:00,452 --> 00:37:02,693
Plans for a rainy day, national ....
597
00:37:02,854 --> 00:37:04,731
Happy anniversary
598
00:37:07,959 --> 00:37:11,600
I know you're famous for skulking
in corners, but be sociable tonight,
599
00:37:11,763 --> 00:37:14,972
For once, please, for me.
600
00:37:15,467 --> 00:37:19,142
The Equalization of Opportunity Bill is set
to appear before Congress next week.
601
00:37:19,304 --> 00:37:22,581
The bill, in an effort to control
big business monopolies, proposes...
602
00:37:22,741 --> 00:37:25,984
...to limit the number of business
any one person can own to one.
603
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:27,987
Lawmakers feel the bill will help ....
604
00:37:28,146 --> 00:37:30,490
Wesley Mouch, please. Hank Rearden.
605
00:37:30,648 --> 00:37:33,652
Police have no leads
on the disappearance of Midas Mulligan.
606
00:37:33,818 --> 00:37:35,764
- He's not?
- A banker by trade, Michael--
607
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,924
- No, have him call me back.
- Changed his name to Midas ....
608
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:40,797
Can I have one night?
609
00:37:42,093 --> 00:37:44,505
This week,
gas prices reached a historic high.
610
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:46,837
And here you are, Mr. Rearden.
611
00:37:46,998 --> 00:37:49,171
Thank you.
You're quite welcome.
612
00:37:52,971 --> 00:37:54,917
Oh, darling, thank you
613
00:37:55,073 --> 00:37:56,848
Where are you going?
614
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:59,181
Pardon us, Phillip.
615
00:38:00,011 --> 00:38:01,786
Henry, dear...
616
00:38:02,514 --> 00:38:03,652
...try to have fun.
617
00:38:03,815 --> 00:38:06,295
How could I possibly have
more fun than this, Lillian?
618
00:38:06,451 --> 00:38:09,159
You're really a wretched liar,
aren't you?
619
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,027
Behave.
620
00:38:11,189 --> 00:38:12,634
Mother?
621
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:14,600
You look beautiful, Mother.
622
00:38:14,759 --> 00:38:16,534
Hello, Lillian.
Congratulations.
623
00:38:16,694 --> 00:38:17,968
Pardon me one moment.
624
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:19,540
Hello.
625
00:38:19,697 --> 00:38:21,608
James Taggart.
Lillian.
626
00:38:21,766 --> 00:38:24,212
A little late and a lot gorgeous.
627
00:38:24,369 --> 00:38:26,815
And Dagny.
Mrs. Rearden, how are you?
628
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:29,383
I'm wonderful.
Tell me, who are you wearing?
629
00:38:29,541 --> 00:38:31,214
Oh, Lennon Couture.
630
00:38:31,376 --> 00:38:32,446
I have often said."
631
00:38:32,610 --> 00:38:35,716
...he is someone who should come back
into fashion and here you are.
632
00:38:37,549 --> 00:38:39,222
That is a beautiful bracelet
Yeah.
633
00:38:39,384 --> 00:38:44,129
Well, you know, Henry had that made
for me from his new metal.
634
00:38:44,289 --> 00:38:45,563
He tries, poor thing.
635
00:38:45,723 --> 00:38:46,793
Now, come.
636
00:38:46,958 --> 00:38:49,666
There's some gentleman
who wants desperately to meet you.
637
00:38:50,528 --> 00:38:54,999
Here he is, as promised, James Taggart.
638
00:39:00,672 --> 00:39:02,015
Hank
639
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:04,153
Dagny.
640
00:39:04,309 --> 00:39:06,585
Oh, excuse me.
641
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:15,760
To a successful business partnership.
I'll drink to that.
642
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,661
Glad you could make it.
643
00:39:17,822 --> 00:39:18,857
Pardon me.
644
00:39:19,023 --> 00:39:21,765
Honey, uh, there's someone
I want you to meet.
645
00:39:21,926 --> 00:39:23,530
Excuse us.
646
00:39:24,863 --> 00:39:27,241
- You have to pose for photos later.
- No.
647
00:39:27,398 --> 00:39:30,538
You promised.
You will do it, I own you tonight
648
00:39:30,702 --> 00:39:34,115
I'm having a magnificent time.
Good, I'm so glad.
649
00:39:34,272 --> 00:39:35,342
Are you glad? Here--
650
00:39:35,506 --> 00:39:38,350
Okay, what the hell is he doing here?
651
00:39:38,509 --> 00:39:43,117
Well, you can't have a party without
inviting Senor D'Anconia if he's around.
652
00:39:43,281 --> 00:39:46,125
You keep him away from me.
I mean it.
653
00:39:46,284 --> 00:39:48,127
Grow up, Henry.
654
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:53,396
Francisco.
Lillian.
655
00:39:53,558 --> 00:39:54,798
Pardon me.
656
00:39:54,959 --> 00:39:56,302
How are you?
You rogue.
657
00:39:59,631 --> 00:40:01,440
Good to see you.
658
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,811
Two, please
659
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:18,057
Did you hear? Balph Eubank is here.
660
00:40:18,216 --> 00:40:19,251
Good.
661
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:24,833
He said, "Happiness is a delusion of those
whose emotions are superficial."
662
00:40:24,989 --> 00:40:27,230
The guy is a genius.
663
00:40:27,392 --> 00:40:29,167
Who are you?
664
00:40:30,161 --> 00:40:31,663
I'm Phillip Rearden.
665
00:40:57,322 --> 00:40:59,097
Thank you.
666
00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:03,967
Well, congratulations
on your 10th anniversary.
667
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:05,766
Cheers.
668
00:41:07,598 --> 00:41:08,872
Hit it.
669
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:11,373
Thank you.
670
00:41:15,106 --> 00:41:16,813
Thanks for coming.
671
00:41:26,884 --> 00:41:28,955
Try the cake, Phillip.
672
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,397
Well, what's great about it?
673
00:41:33,558 --> 00:41:36,630
Okay, Paul?
674
00:41:39,130 --> 00:41:40,473
Well said.
675
00:41:40,631 --> 00:41:43,669
I picked it out because
I know that you love banana...
676
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:48,841
...and I like chocolate
and Mother likes the butler cream.
677
00:42:00,151 --> 00:42:02,927
Mr. Rearden,
allow me to introduce myself.
678
00:42:03,821 --> 00:42:07,564
Your reputation precedes you,
Senor D'Anconia.
679
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:09,432
I'm not a fan.
680
00:42:09,594 --> 00:42:11,198
Then I'll be brief.
681
00:42:11,362 --> 00:42:13,501
I came here tonight just to meet you
682
00:42:13,664 --> 00:42:16,702
And what did you wanna meet me for?
Help me lose money?
683
00:42:17,869 --> 00:42:19,507
I don't wanna sell anything to you
684
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:23,675
Matter of fact, I didn't try to sell the mine
to James Taggart either, he came to me.
685
00:42:24,242 --> 00:42:26,779
You wouldn't have.
Exactly.
686
00:42:26,944 --> 00:42:28,287
So, what do you want?
687
00:42:32,083 --> 00:42:34,723
I want to learn to understand you.
688
00:42:39,123 --> 00:42:41,034
What for?
689
00:42:42,126 --> 00:42:46,632
If it wasn't for you, most of these people
would be left helpless.
690
00:42:46,798 --> 00:42:49,278
Why are you willing to carry them?
691
00:42:49,434 --> 00:42:52,074
Because they're a bunch
of miserable children...
692
00:42:52,270 --> 00:42:56,116
...trying to stay alive desperately
and very badly.
693
00:42:56,274 --> 00:42:58,276
Have you told them?
Told them what?
694
00:42:58,443 --> 00:43:01,322
You're working for your sake, not theirs.
They know.
695
00:43:01,479 --> 00:43:03,959
Yes, they do.
But they don't think you do.
696
00:43:04,115 --> 00:43:06,152
And what do I Care what they think?
697
00:43:06,317 --> 00:43:07,955
Because it's a battle.
698
00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:11,066
A battle in which one must make
one's stand clear.
699
00:43:11,222 --> 00:43:14,829
What battle? I don't fight the disarmed.
700
00:43:14,992 --> 00:43:16,835
Oh, they have a weapon against you.
701
00:43:16,994 --> 00:43:19,440
It's their only weapon,
but it's a terrible one.
702
00:43:19,597 --> 00:43:22,976
Ask yourself what it is sometime.
703
00:43:23,601 --> 00:43:26,741
There's a reason
you're as unhappy as you are.
704
00:43:28,906 --> 00:43:31,819
What exactly is your motive here?
705
00:43:32,677 --> 00:43:33,678
Let us say...
706
00:43:33,845 --> 00:43:37,452
...to give you the words you need
for the time when you'll need them.
707
00:43:38,850 --> 00:43:41,296
It was a pleasure meeting you,
Mr. Rearden.
708
00:43:41,452 --> 00:43:42,988
Good evening.
709
00:43:52,530 --> 00:43:54,203
Are you having a good time, Dagny?
710
00:43:54,365 --> 00:43:55,708
I am.
Good.
711
00:43:55,867 --> 00:43:58,143
And I really do love that bracelet.
712
00:43:58,302 --> 00:44:00,714
I would throw it into the fire
if it would burn.
713
00:44:00,872 --> 00:44:02,977
Perhaps, I can take it off your hands?
714
00:44:03,141 --> 00:44:07,351
Are you serious? I was planning
on giving it to the maid for her birthday.
715
00:44:07,879 --> 00:44:09,881
Maybe the maid would like this instead.
716
00:44:10,047 --> 00:44:11,321
That's enough, Lillian.
717
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:14,224
- Dagny is just being kind.
- For God's sake, Henry, be quiet.
718
00:44:14,385 --> 00:44:16,558
Dagny and I are having a negotiation,
it seems.
719
00:44:16,721 --> 00:44:18,291
You were saying?
A simple trade.
720
00:44:18,456 --> 00:44:20,561
That bracelet for this necklace.
721
00:44:27,131 --> 00:44:28,508
And it's yours.
722
00:44:34,238 --> 00:44:36,013
Sorry, Hank, I had to
723
00:44:36,174 --> 00:44:37,482
No, you didn't.
Yes, I did.
724
00:44:37,642 --> 00:44:39,849
And we both know why.
725
00:44:40,011 --> 00:44:42,389
It's nothing.
it's just a useless hunk of metal.
726
00:44:42,547 --> 00:44:44,686
Nice try.
727
00:44:44,849 --> 00:44:46,920
I had a lovely time.
728
00:44:58,763 --> 00:45:01,607
That party took a lot out of me, Henry.
729
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,380
Don't worry.
I didn't come in here for sex.
730
00:45:04,535 --> 00:45:06,276
Thank you, dear.
731
00:45:07,672 --> 00:45:08,946
Why are you here?
732
00:45:09,106 --> 00:45:12,952
The next time you decide to throw a party,
can you stick to your own crowd?
733
00:45:13,110 --> 00:45:15,613
Don't bother inviting people
you think are my friends.
734
00:45:16,113 --> 00:45:18,286
But, Henry, you don't have any friends.
735
00:45:31,963 --> 00:45:33,806
And in Colorado this morning...
736
00:45:33,965 --> 00:45:38,471
work commenced to replace
100-year-old track on the Rio None Line ....
737
00:45:38,636 --> 00:45:42,140
Some sections of this rail line,
one of Taggart's most important...
738
00:45:42,306 --> 00:45:44,718
...have fallen into disrepair
over the last decades.
739
00:45:44,875 --> 00:45:48,288
The rails of the Rio Norte Line
have not been replaced in over 100 years.
740
00:45:48,446 --> 00:45:52,326
This marks the first time Rearden
Steel has been used this extensively...
741
00:45:52,483 --> 00:45:55,657
...in a major railroad construction project
in the country.
742
00:45:55,820 --> 00:45:58,824
Going slow and safe, slow and safe.
743
00:45:58,990 --> 00:46:01,561
Get two men on that side.
744
00:46:01,726 --> 00:46:03,797
Pull the pin.
745
00:46:20,111 --> 00:46:23,115
Your speech at this dinner tonight
better inspire confidence.
746
00:46:26,484 --> 00:46:28,486
The National Council
of Metal Industries...
747
00:46:28,653 --> 00:46:31,497
...is questioning the structural integrity
of Rearden Metal.
748
00:46:31,656 --> 00:46:34,830
I just hope you can defend Rearden Metal
against Bertram Scudder.
749
00:46:34,992 --> 00:46:36,198
Scudder?
750
00:46:38,029 --> 00:46:40,600
You didn't tell me
there would be other speakers.
751
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:42,641
We want to be objective,
hear all sides.
752
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,336
Especially in front of the media.
753
00:46:44,502 --> 00:46:45,879
Objective?
754
00:46:46,037 --> 00:46:49,177
Did you read the hatchet job he did
on Hank Rearden in his magazine?
755
00:46:50,141 --> 00:46:52,280
And why is there media
at a private dinner?
756
00:46:52,443 --> 00:46:55,720
You're gonna debate Scudder
on the safety concerns of Rearden Metal.
757
00:46:58,049 --> 00:46:59,221
Driver?
758
00:46:59,383 --> 00:47:00,623
Pull over.
759
00:47:00,785 --> 00:47:02,560
What are you doing?
760
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:05,326
I don't need to defend my decision
to use Rearden Metal.
761
00:47:05,489 --> 00:47:07,366
But, apparently, you do.
762
00:47:07,792 --> 00:47:08,896
Good luck.
763
00:47:09,060 --> 00:47:12,735
How is it gonna look when we're not there
to defend our own proposal?
764
00:47:16,233 --> 00:47:19,737
Taggart construction crews
reached the foot of The Rockies this morning.
765
00:47:19,904 --> 00:47:24,580
Over 125 miles of track have been replaced
in little over a month...
766
00:47:24,742 --> 00:47:27,222
...with still almost 200 miles more to go.
767
00:47:27,378 --> 00:47:30,416
This is Tawny Johnson reporting
from Granby, Colorado.
768
00:47:33,851 --> 00:47:35,592
Ease off on that, big bro.
769
00:47:35,753 --> 00:47:37,494
The State Science Institute...
770
00:47:37,655 --> 00:47:39,862
...is simply requesting
that you stop production...
771
00:47:40,024 --> 00:47:42,095
...until the economy can stabilize.
772
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,001
The answer is no.
773
00:47:46,764 --> 00:47:48,937
At a time of desperate steel shortages...
774
00:47:49,100 --> 00:47:52,877
...we can't afford to allow the expansion
of a company which produces too much...
775
00:47:53,037 --> 00:47:56,450
...and might replace companies
which produce too little.
776
00:47:57,241 --> 00:48:00,051
That is how you create
an unbalanced economy.
777
00:48:00,945 --> 00:48:04,222
Oh. Well, I tell you what.
778
00:48:04,382 --> 00:48:08,558
If you can answer me
one simple question truthfully...
779
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,131
...I'll consider your request.
780
00:48:11,756 --> 00:48:14,134
Is Rearden Metal good or not?
781
00:48:17,261 --> 00:48:21,471
I'm authorized by the government
to pay you a very generous sum...
782
00:48:21,632 --> 00:48:23,305
...for the rights to Rearden Metal.
783
00:48:24,635 --> 00:48:26,308
What would seem fair to you?
784
00:48:26,470 --> 00:48:30,475
Tell me if Rearden Metal is good or not
and I'll sell you the rights.
785
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:35,618
I think that's a very selfish question to ask
at a time of great economic uncertainty.
786
00:48:39,150 --> 00:48:42,597
Is Rearden Metal good or not?
787
00:48:43,154 --> 00:48:45,930
Answer the question, doctor.
788
00:48:46,624 --> 00:48:50,595
The question of Rearden Metal
being good or not is irrelevant.
789
00:48:52,329 --> 00:48:57,074
If Rearden Metal is not good,
it's a physical danger to the public.
790
00:48:57,234 --> 00:48:58,679
If it is good...
791
00:48:59,437 --> 00:49:01,610
...it's a social danger.
792
00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:06,517
If you have any proof that
Rearden Metal poses a physical threat...
793
00:49:06,677 --> 00:49:08,623
...show it to me.
794
00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:11,459
Otherwise, we're done here.
795
00:49:26,096 --> 00:49:31,205
Why is it so important for you to struggle
for years squeezing out meager gains...
796
00:49:31,368 --> 00:49:33,712
...rather than accept a fortune
for Rearden Metal?
797
00:49:33,871 --> 00:49:35,817
Because it's mine.
798
00:49:35,973 --> 00:49:37,782
Do you understand that concept?
799
00:49:37,942 --> 00:49:39,319
Mine.
800
00:49:39,477 --> 00:49:41,548
Why are you taking
such a hard-line position?
801
00:49:41,712 --> 00:49:43,783
I don't understand.
802
00:49:43,948 --> 00:49:46,019
I don't think you'll ever understand,
doctor.
803
00:49:50,521 --> 00:49:53,229
And Rearden Metal is good.
804
00:50:12,309 --> 00:50:14,311
I can't risk making more switches
for you...
805
00:50:14,478 --> 00:50:15,923
...out of that unproven metal.
806
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,718
Too many people think it's unsafe.
807
00:50:17,882 --> 00:50:18,917
What people?
808
00:50:19,083 --> 00:50:22,189
I just don't want any trouble.
Herbert, look.
809
00:50:22,353 --> 00:50:25,061
You've been working with Rearden Metal
for four months now.
810
00:50:25,222 --> 00:50:28,499
You know it is the best material available
What's going on?
811
00:50:28,659 --> 00:50:30,730
I got a family. I need to make money.
812
00:50:30,895 --> 00:50:33,102
I'm trying to survive here.
And you will.
813
00:50:33,264 --> 00:50:36,905
Continue manufacturing
my mainline switches.
814
00:50:37,067 --> 00:50:39,047
There have been threats.
815
00:50:39,904 --> 00:50:41,611
Who is threatening you?
816
00:50:41,772 --> 00:50:45,219
The State Science Institute
has issued a statement...
817
00:50:45,376 --> 00:50:47,947
...warning people
against the use of Rearden Metal.
818
00:50:48,112 --> 00:50:49,750
And what are they saying, exactly?
819
00:50:49,914 --> 00:50:51,450
It's what they're implying.
820
00:50:53,784 --> 00:50:56,128
It was issued under your name.
821
00:50:56,287 --> 00:50:58,961
Make it a habit
of letting the Institute speak for you...
822
00:50:59,123 --> 00:51:00,966
...even if the words it uses are false?
823
00:51:01,125 --> 00:51:04,436
Miss Taggart, it is public opinion
that Rearden Metal is unsafe.
824
00:51:04,595 --> 00:51:06,302
What about the truth?
825
00:51:06,463 --> 00:51:07,533
Which truth?
826
00:51:07,698 --> 00:51:10,941
That Rearden Metal is the best material
available on the market today.
827
00:51:11,101 --> 00:51:13,638
It's strong, it is safe. You know that.
828
00:51:13,804 --> 00:51:16,148
Please, have a seat.
829
00:51:24,982 --> 00:51:28,259
Please. Consider my side, Miss Taggart.
830
00:51:28,619 --> 00:51:31,122
I work for the last center of science
left on Earth.
831
00:51:31,288 --> 00:51:33,632
We do rely on public funding.
832
00:51:33,791 --> 00:51:34,826
Which do I sacrifice?
833
00:51:34,992 --> 00:51:38,166
An excellent piece of smelting
or the future of this institute?
834
00:51:43,067 --> 00:51:44,774
Miss Taggart.
835
00:51:44,935 --> 00:51:47,006
Please sit down.
836
00:51:54,511 --> 00:51:57,287
I had three brilliant students...
837
00:51:57,448 --> 00:52:01,521
...that I shared with another
Philosophy professor, Hugh Akston.
838
00:52:01,685 --> 00:52:04,256
Doctor Stadler, I don't understand
what this has to do--
839
00:52:04,421 --> 00:52:06,697
We even had a bet.
840
00:52:06,857 --> 00:52:09,633
Who would win
over their hearts and minds first?
841
00:52:10,527 --> 00:52:12,939
One of them became a depraved playboy.
842
00:52:13,097 --> 00:52:15,703
His name was Francisco D'Anconia.
I know who he is.
843
00:52:15,866 --> 00:52:18,779
The second, Ragnar Danneskjold,
became a pirate...
844
00:52:18,936 --> 00:52:20,813
...stealing to give to the rich.
845
00:52:20,971 --> 00:52:22,712
And the third?
846
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,011
The third one simply vanished.
847
00:52:28,812 --> 00:52:32,555
We were expecting
such a magnificent future for them.
848
00:52:35,386 --> 00:52:37,525
I do wish you best of luck, Miss Taggart.
849
00:52:47,631 --> 00:52:49,577
Sorry, I'm late.
850
00:52:50,567 --> 00:52:51,910
Please, continue.
851
00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:56,643
MAN
Today, the Rio Norte Line...
852
00:52:56,807 --> 00:53:00,755
...completed 211 miles of replaced track
using the new Rearden Steel.
853
00:53:00,911 --> 00:53:04,916
According to studies, Rearden's
new steel, mined with the latest standard...
854
00:53:05,082 --> 00:53:09,258
This extensively in a major railroad
construction project in the country.
855
00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:11,563
Hello, Dagny.
856
00:53:12,189 --> 00:53:14,191
Mr. Wyatt. Hello.
857
00:53:14,358 --> 00:53:17,498
There was a big-rig pileup
a couple of weeks ago.
858
00:53:17,661 --> 00:53:22,440
Landslide closed down the supply line
for workers and the rail.
859
00:53:22,599 --> 00:53:24,772
I thought we'd be down
for a couple of weeks.
860
00:53:24,935 --> 00:53:27,415
We were back up and running
in 24 hours.
861
00:53:27,571 --> 00:53:32,611
I figured someone
knew how to manage a crisis up here.
862
00:53:33,711 --> 00:53:35,213
Nice job.
863
00:53:35,679 --> 00:53:36,953
Can't afford to fall behind.
864
00:53:37,114 --> 00:53:40,254
We have to get those rails in place
before the first snows come.
865
00:53:42,453 --> 00:53:44,626
I underestimated you.
866
00:53:48,692 --> 00:53:50,262
Hey, Dagny?
867
00:53:51,962 --> 00:53:53,600
If you ever want a job ...'
868
00:53:54,064 --> 00:53:55,634
I'll keep that in mind.
869
00:53:56,366 --> 00:53:59,313
It comes from the reservoir.
Make sure it's clean.
870
00:54:05,042 --> 00:54:07,579
I was watching you
with the workers there.
871
00:54:07,745 --> 00:54:10,589
You look as at home there
as you do in that office of yours.
872
00:54:10,748 --> 00:54:12,785
I'm needed here.
873
00:54:13,083 --> 00:54:14,289
This is important.
874
00:54:14,952 --> 00:54:15,987
Yeah, go ahead
875
00:54:16,153 --> 00:54:18,565
What you need is to replace that bridge.
876
00:54:18,722 --> 00:54:19,757
Not a chance.
877
00:54:19,923 --> 00:54:22,426
- I have to be ready in six months.
- Plenty.
878
00:54:22,593 --> 00:54:26,564
What if I told you I could have it made
in three months...
879
00:54:26,730 --> 00:54:29,574
...and that it would last for centuries?
880
00:54:32,236 --> 00:54:33,442
Let me check my budget.
881
00:54:33,604 --> 00:54:35,675
I can make it happen.
882
00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:37,477
Now, I'm staying in town tonight.
883
00:54:37,641 --> 00:54:39,985
I was wondering
if you'd like join me for dinner.
884
00:54:41,612 --> 00:54:43,785
I can't.
I have to get back to New York.
885
00:54:44,248 --> 00:54:45,318
But walk with me.
886
00:54:46,850 --> 00:54:48,989
Do you think it can be stopped?
887
00:54:49,153 --> 00:54:51,633
- This newline or us?
- Both.
888
00:55:27,558 --> 00:55:28,730
What's going on, Eddie?
889
00:55:29,226 --> 00:55:30,899
Ben Nealy's quit.
890
00:55:31,995 --> 00:55:34,202
Kellogg, McNamara, now Nealy.
891
00:55:34,364 --> 00:55:36,071
That's not all,
Dagny.
892
00:55:36,233 --> 00:55:38,645
Taggart Transcontinental
stocks have plummeted...
893
00:55:38,802 --> 00:55:42,545
...because the State Science Institute
has denounced Rearden Metal.
894
00:55:42,706 --> 00:55:45,482
Your family’s railroad is in real trouble.
895
00:55:46,743 --> 00:55:48,222
Eddie.
896
00:55:51,215 --> 00:55:53,991
I think it's time to stand
on our own.
897
00:55:58,055 --> 00:56:01,059
In order to save my family's business...
898
00:56:02,993 --> 00:56:04,995
...I'm gonna have to abandon it.
899
00:56:15,439 --> 00:56:17,419
Good morning, Miss Taggart.
900
00:56:27,117 --> 00:56:29,063
Taggart Transcontinental is done.
901
00:56:29,219 --> 00:56:32,132
What are you talking about?
We're finished.
902
00:56:32,689 --> 00:56:34,225
We can't stop and we can't go on.
903
00:56:34,391 --> 00:56:36,462
In weeks,
our stock won't be trading anymore.
904
00:56:36,627 --> 00:56:39,540
You're paranoid. Orren Boyle has assured
me there is pending--
905
00:56:39,696 --> 00:56:41,073
Here's what we are gonna do.
906
00:56:41,231 --> 00:56:44,041
And, Jim, this is not a proposal.
907
00:56:44,201 --> 00:56:45,805
Just listen and accept.
908
00:56:45,969 --> 00:56:49,382
I'm gonna take a leave
from Taggart Transcontinental.
909
00:56:49,539 --> 00:56:51,314
Start my own company.
You're leaving?
910
00:56:51,475 --> 00:56:54,979
Shut up. You and the board are gonna
transfer the Rio Norte Line over to me.
911
00:56:55,145 --> 00:56:56,419
Our stock will go back up.
912
00:56:56,580 --> 00:56:58,287
I will act as my own contractor
913
00:56:58,448 --> 00:57:01,588
I will get my own financing
and finish the line on time.
914
00:57:01,752 --> 00:57:05,598
And where are you gonna get financing?
That is not for you to worry about.
915
00:57:05,756 --> 00:57:07,497
Once we see how the rails perform...
916
00:57:07,658 --> 00:57:10,798
...I will transfer the line
back over to Taggart Transcontinental...
917
00:57:10,961 --> 00:57:12,668
...and return to my job.
918
00:57:13,330 --> 00:57:16,402
Okay. And what are you gonna call
this newline of yours, Dagny?
919
00:57:16,566 --> 00:57:19,012
You're not dragging the family name
through this.
920
00:57:19,169 --> 00:57:21,149
I won't allow it.
921
00:57:29,146 --> 00:57:30,784
The John Galt Line.
922
00:57:32,449 --> 00:57:34,190
Now we know
why you've gone off the rails.
923
00:57:34,351 --> 00:57:36,490
That's the name.
it's your disaster
924
00:57:37,187 --> 00:57:38,666
And what's the plan if you fail?
925
00:57:38,822 --> 00:57:40,028
I go down alone.
926
00:57:40,190 --> 00:57:42,500
Taggart Transcontinental
remains in your control.
927
00:57:43,994 --> 00:57:45,530
Two last things.
What?
928
00:57:45,696 --> 00:57:47,869
First, I'm taking Eddie Willers.
Oh, no, no.
929
00:57:48,031 --> 00:57:49,135
I need him here.
Tough.
930
00:57:49,299 --> 00:57:51,040
You're gonna have to do your own work.
931
00:57:51,201 --> 00:57:53,943
Second, keep your cronies in Washington
off my back.
932
00:57:54,104 --> 00:57:56,880
Make sure I get all my permissions,
grants, authorizations...
933
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,318
...and any other political crap I need from
those sons of bitches, otherwise, no deal.
934
00:58:02,279 --> 00:58:06,489
I'll see what I can do.
And one last warning, brother dear.
935
00:58:07,117 --> 00:58:10,394
I have never done anything
to hurt a living creature in my entire life.
936
00:58:11,355 --> 00:58:14,393
But if you double-cross me in any way...
937
00:58:15,659 --> 00:58:17,798
...I will destroy you.
938
00:58:25,669 --> 00:58:27,342
The money would mean nothing to you.
939
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:29,245
You've wasted that on senseless parties.
940
00:58:29,406 --> 00:58:31,682
You've wasted more
in the San Sebastian mines.
941
00:58:31,842 --> 00:58:33,583
I'm afraid I can't. Money's tight.
942
00:58:33,744 --> 00:58:36,054
I've got too many expenses.
Okay
943
00:58:37,247 --> 00:58:40,387
So, what do you want me to do, Frisco?
Do you want me to beg?
944
00:58:40,550 --> 00:58:41,858
Because now I'm begging.
Ha.
945
00:58:42,019 --> 00:58:43,054
You don't know how.
946
00:58:43,220 --> 00:58:46,667
I thought that you of all people
would understand.
947
00:58:59,202 --> 00:59:01,409
Then is it me that you want?
948
00:59:07,778 --> 00:59:10,281
Don't ask me such a thing, Dagny.
949
00:59:11,214 --> 00:59:13,694
If I ever meant anything to you.”
950
00:59:13,850 --> 00:59:15,796
...loan me the money that I need.
951
00:59:16,787 --> 00:59:18,892
I can't.
952
00:59:24,795 --> 00:59:27,571
What is this savior line gonna be called?
953
00:59:30,100 --> 00:59:31,477
The John Galt Line.
954
00:59:33,970 --> 00:59:37,474
What?
Because I am tired of hearing that name.
955
00:59:37,641 --> 00:59:39,814
It means quitting, giving up.
956
00:59:39,976 --> 00:59:43,617
And I am not giving up,
I am not going to quit.
957
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,791
I'm going to win.
958
00:59:54,391 --> 00:59:56,393
I'm sorry, Miss Taggart.
959
00:59:57,494 --> 00:59:58,666
So, what do you think?
960
00:59:58,829 --> 01:00:00,172
Just one last thing.
961
01:00:06,570 --> 01:00:08,072
I'll make sets for you.
962
01:00:08,238 --> 01:00:09,683
No.
963
01:00:12,909 --> 01:00:14,411
Okay
964
01:00:15,779 --> 01:00:19,625
So maybe you can see
about an opportunity ....
965
01:00:26,857 --> 01:00:28,359
Dagny? Ken Danagger.
966
01:00:28,525 --> 01:00:30,630
I have some good news.
967
01:00:31,661 --> 01:00:33,197
Mr. Rearden, Miss Taggart is--
968
01:00:33,363 --> 01:00:35,138
As president of the John Galt Line...
969
01:00:35,298 --> 01:00:38,677
...I would like to commission
a Rearden Metal bridge for Wyatt Junction
970
01:00:38,835 --> 01:00:40,872
Excellent. I'll start rolling the metal.
971
01:00:41,037 --> 01:00:43,517
Aren't you curious as to how
I'm able to finance this?
972
01:00:43,673 --> 01:00:45,311
Okay, I'll bite.
973
01:00:46,009 --> 01:00:50,151
Ellis Wyatt, Ted Nielsen,
Lawrence Hammond, Kenneth Danagger.
974
01:00:50,313 --> 01:00:53,726
I'm not at 100 percent bonds sold yet,
but I am close.
975
01:00:53,884 --> 01:00:55,192
Hmm
976
01:00:58,555 --> 01:01:00,535
There. I just made up the difference.
977
01:01:01,691 --> 01:01:04,831
I would never ask anyone to take a risk
I wasn't willing to take.
978
01:01:07,063 --> 01:01:08,565
You're a good man, Hank Rearden.
979
01:01:09,833 --> 01:01:11,904
Can I show you something?
980
01:01:12,536 --> 01:01:13,844
Mr. Rearden's office.
981
01:01:14,738 --> 01:01:17,810
No, he's in a meeting.
May I give you his voicemail?
982
01:01:18,074 --> 01:01:19,075
Thank you.
983
01:01:23,380 --> 01:01:27,055
- Looks like an engine.
- Not like any engine I've ever seen.
984
01:01:27,217 --> 01:01:28,594
Where did you find this?
985
01:01:28,752 --> 01:01:31,824
Remember that motor company
I was telling you about in Wisconsin?
986
01:01:31,988 --> 01:01:34,332
I did a little digging around
and I found these.
987
01:01:34,491 --> 01:01:36,596
Twentieth Century Motor Corporation.
988
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,933
It's a prototype for a new engine.
989
01:01:39,095 --> 01:01:42,406
It never went into production.
I'm not even sure the thing works
990
01:01:42,566 --> 01:01:44,102
Well, it's worth a look.
991
01:01:44,534 --> 01:01:48,209
Once the John Galt line is complete,
I'd like to look into this further.
992
01:01:48,371 --> 01:01:50,612
- Care to help?
- Let me see what I can do.
993
01:01:50,774 --> 01:01:51,844
Absolutely
994
01:01:52,108 --> 01:01:55,578
I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. Rearden.
There's an urgent call on line two.
995
01:01:57,013 --> 01:01:58,117
Hank Rearden.
996
01:01:59,783 --> 01:02:01,456
What?
997
01:02:02,219 --> 01:02:04,130
Find Mouch.
998
01:02:04,621 --> 01:02:05,622
What is it?
999
01:02:05,789 --> 01:02:08,793
The legislature passed
the Equalization of Opportunity Bill
1000
01:02:08,959 --> 01:02:10,802
So quickly? How is that even possible?
1001
01:02:10,961 --> 01:02:12,804
I don't know.
You know what this means?
1002
01:02:12,963 --> 01:02:14,806
Nobody can own
more than one company.
1003
01:02:14,965 --> 01:02:16,137
We'll fix this.
1004
01:02:16,299 --> 01:02:19,644
I'll sign away my other companies,
but they are not getting my metal.
1005
01:02:20,937 --> 01:02:23,281
What about Wyatt's bridge?
1006
01:02:24,908 --> 01:02:25,943
I gave my word.
1007
01:02:26,109 --> 01:02:29,147
It will be done on time and on budget
1008
01:02:34,284 --> 01:02:36,821
This is just a technicality, Hank.
Okay.
1009
01:02:36,987 --> 01:02:39,661
I'll always consider the ore mine as yours.
No.
1010
01:02:39,823 --> 01:02:42,633
I either own the property or I don't.
1011
01:02:43,093 --> 01:02:44,936
You can trust me.
1012
01:02:45,328 --> 01:02:47,899
You know you'll always have
as much ore as you need.
1013
01:02:48,064 --> 01:02:49,099
I don't know.
1014
01:02:49,266 --> 01:02:52,270
I've never given you any reason
to mistrust me.
1015
01:02:52,669 --> 01:02:53,909
The mine is yours.
1016
01:02:54,070 --> 01:02:56,243
If you intend to keep your word,
then keep it.
1017
01:02:56,406 --> 01:02:59,649
If you wanna give me first call
on the ore produced, fine.
1018
01:02:59,809 --> 01:03:02,119
If you intend to double-cross me...
1019
01:03:04,347 --> 01:03:05,485
...so be it.
1020
01:03:07,517 --> 01:03:09,190
It's not fair, Hank.
1021
01:03:09,352 --> 01:03:10,990
It wasn't me who passed the law.
1022
01:04:09,679 --> 01:04:10,714
That is correct.
1023
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,520
The first train on the John Galt Line
will run July 22nd.
1024
01:04:13,683 --> 01:04:16,254
Great news. Thank you, Dagny.
My pleasure, thank you.
1025
01:04:16,419 --> 01:04:20,390
Dagny, this is, uh, Mr. Brady, a delegate
from the Union of Locomotive Engineers
1026
01:04:20,557 --> 01:04:21,900
You're busy. I'll be brief.
1027
01:04:22,058 --> 01:04:24,538
We're not gonna allow you
to run that train.
1028
01:04:24,694 --> 01:04:26,105
Get out of here.
1029
01:04:26,262 --> 01:04:29,869
You do not come and tell me
what you will or will not allow me to do.
1030
01:04:30,033 --> 01:04:32,104
What I meant to say
was a committee decided...
1031
01:04:32,268 --> 01:04:35,772
...that allowing men to run your train
on that untested metal...
1032
01:04:35,939 --> 01:04:37,941
...would violate their human rights.
1033
01:04:38,108 --> 01:04:39,678
Are you serious, Mr. Brady?
1034
01:04:39,843 --> 01:04:42,449
You can't force men to go out
and get killed for profit.
1035
01:04:42,612 --> 01:04:43,920
Put that in writing.
1036
01:04:45,115 --> 01:04:48,392
That you want to stop your men
from working and earning a wage.
1037
01:04:48,551 --> 01:04:50,292
Miss Taggart, you don't understand--
1038
01:04:50,453 --> 01:04:52,729
Oh, no, no, no. I understand perfectly.
1039
01:04:52,889 --> 01:04:55,096
You want me to provide the jobs...
1040
01:04:55,258 --> 01:04:58,899
...and you wanna make it impossible
for me to have any jobs to provide.
1041
01:04:59,062 --> 01:05:01,235
You can do whatever you want
with your men.
1042
01:05:01,398 --> 01:05:03,810
But that train will run
if I have to drive myself.
1043
01:05:03,967 --> 01:05:06,311
Because, Mr. Brady,
if that bridge collapses...
1044
01:05:06,469 --> 01:05:08,745
...there won't be any railroad left
in existence.
1045
01:05:08,905 --> 01:05:10,475
But if it does not collapse...
1046
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,314
...no member of your union
will ever get a job...
1047
01:05:13,476 --> 01:05:14,978
...on the John Galt Line.
1048
01:05:15,145 --> 01:05:17,648
Now are you going to forbid your men
to run that train?
1049
01:05:17,814 --> 01:05:19,987
I never used the word forbid.
1050
01:05:20,583 --> 01:05:24,429
I'm only stating that you cannot force
anyone to take that run.
1051
01:05:24,587 --> 01:05:27,431
I would never force a man
to do anything.
1052
01:05:28,591 --> 01:05:30,502
I'll ask for volunteers.
1053
01:05:30,660 --> 01:05:32,435
Then it will be my problem, not yours.
1054
01:05:32,595 --> 01:05:34,074
I'll advise them to refuse.
1055
01:05:34,230 --> 01:05:36,574
Do what you want, Mr. Brady.
1056
01:05:37,167 --> 01:05:38,942
But leave them the choice
1057
01:05:55,285 --> 01:05:57,629
We have breaking news
from Cheyenne, Wyoming...
1058
01:05:57,787 --> 01:06:00,996
...where the maiden run of the
John Galt Line is about to commence...
1059
01:06:01,157 --> 01:06:04,866
...despite numerous warnings
from the State Science institute.
1060
01:06:05,028 --> 01:06:07,304
Two hundred fifty miles per hour
all the way.
1061
01:06:07,464 --> 01:06:09,603
The John Galt Line's
the future of rail travel.
1062
01:06:09,766 --> 01:06:11,268
We're gonna prove it today.
1063
01:06:11,434 --> 01:06:12,970
Miss Taggart, who is John Galt?
1064
01:06:25,715 --> 01:06:27,319
We are.
1065
01:07:04,254 --> 01:07:05,699
One hundred.
1066
01:07:13,596 --> 01:07:15,940
One fifty.
1067
01:07:18,768 --> 01:07:20,941
One seventy-Eve.
1068
01:07:48,598 --> 01:07:49,633
Two fifty.
1069
01:07:49,799 --> 01:07:53,212
That’s faster than any train
has ever gone in this country.
1070
01:08:34,410 --> 01:08:36,356
There she is.
1071
01:09:10,046 --> 01:09:11,821
We did it.
1072
01:09:43,346 --> 01:09:46,657
Today in Colorado,
the John Galt Line made a successful run...
1073
01:09:46,816 --> 01:09:49,023
...over its new Rearden Metal bridge.
1074
01:09:49,585 --> 01:09:52,395
The controversial metal bridge
held up perfectly...
1075
01:09:52,555 --> 01:09:56,867
...despite strong warnings
from the State Science institute.
1076
01:09:57,026 --> 01:09:59,097
Three hundred miles
in less than 90 minutes.
1077
01:09:59,262 --> 01:10:00,434
Was there ever any doubt?
1078
01:10:00,596 --> 01:10:03,736
No, because there was no doubt
I prepared a meal for the two of you.
1079
01:10:03,900 --> 01:10:06,005
Orren Boyle is on the line.
1080
01:10:07,070 --> 01:10:08,743
Did you see?
1081
01:10:09,906 --> 01:10:11,715
I'm watching it now.
1082
01:10:11,874 --> 01:10:15,447
If the John Galt Line succeeds,
it's gonna make Wyatt unstoppable.
1083
01:10:15,611 --> 01:10:18,091
- Now, what can be done?
- Don't you see?
1084
01:10:18,247 --> 01:10:21,888
It's his own success that provides us
the tools to bring him down.
1085
01:10:22,051 --> 01:10:24,964
He's not only given us the rope,
he's tied the knot.
1086
01:10:25,121 --> 01:10:27,727
All we have to do
is slip it over his head.
1087
01:10:29,959 --> 01:10:32,132
This might work to our advantage.
1088
01:10:38,034 --> 01:10:40,139
I love it. Here we go.
1089
01:11:04,460 --> 01:11:06,269
Oh, yeah, you want that
So?
1090
01:11:06,429 --> 01:11:10,434
And he said,
"It smells like muse-o de Jas poopias."
1091
01:11:15,838 --> 01:11:20,844
I want to tell both of you something.
Do you know the Buena Esperanza Pass?
1092
01:11:21,010 --> 01:11:24,287
Well, yeah, the Buena Esperanza Pass.
That area has been dry for years.
1093
01:11:24,447 --> 01:11:26,688
Ah. To conventional drilling, yes.
1094
01:11:26,849 --> 01:11:31,195
There is an untapped reservoir
of oil in those rocks...
1095
01:11:31,354 --> 01:11:35,530
...which is larger than any known reserve
in the Saudi Peninsula.
1096
01:11:36,425 --> 01:11:40,874
And underneath
is an ocean of natural gas
1097
01:11:41,764 --> 01:11:44,768
Soon everyone will be wanting
to get on the bandwagon.
1098
01:11:44,934 --> 01:11:47,710
And, my friends, we are the band.
1099
01:11:48,204 --> 01:11:50,810
I will drink to that.
Hear, hear.
1100
01:11:50,973 --> 01:11:53,544
To Colorado and the New Renaissance
1101
01:11:53,709 --> 01:11:57,623
And forget about the Stone Age
and the Iron Age.
1102
01:11:57,780 --> 01:12:00,852
Let's have a toast
to the Age of Rearden Metal.
1103
01:12:01,450 --> 01:12:04,056
And the John Galt Line.
1104
01:12:11,494 --> 01:12:15,909
Ahem. Well, I can see that the market
has opened in Hong Kong.
1105
01:12:16,065 --> 01:12:18,204
I have some phone calls to make.
1106
01:12:19,735 --> 01:12:23,410
You have been charming company;
but I must excuse myself.
1107
01:12:24,540 --> 01:12:26,645
There are guest rooms upstairs.
Help yourself.
1108
01:12:26,809 --> 01:12:28,413
Thank you for everything.
1109
01:12:28,578 --> 01:12:30,717
My pleasure, partner.
1110
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:32,359
Sir
Sir.
1111
01:12:33,216 --> 01:12:35,560
My, uh, casa es su casa, and so on.
1112
01:12:35,718 --> 01:12:36,856
Good night.
Good night.
1113
01:12:37,019 --> 01:12:38,521
Good night.
1114
01:12:47,763 --> 01:12:51,108
It's good to know
there are men like Wyatt left in the world.
1115
01:12:52,568 --> 01:12:55,777
I wish I could hold myself
in the same esteem.
1116
01:12:55,938 --> 01:12:57,440
I have a wife.
1117
01:12:57,607 --> 01:13:01,180
And somewhere I have a company
that's being pulled apart.
1118
01:13:01,944 --> 01:13:03,890
Yet here we are
1119
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:09,095
And all I wanna do right now
is kiss you.
1120
01:13:10,887 --> 01:13:13,128
What's stopping you?
1121
01:14:59,962 --> 01:15:01,805
Ellis Wyatt?
1122
01:15:02,398 --> 01:15:04,036
Yes?
1123
01:15:04,834 --> 01:15:07,075
Could I have a moment of your time?
1124
01:15:07,236 --> 01:15:09,842
At this hour? Who the hell are you?
1125
01:15:10,306 --> 01:15:12,479
My name is familiar to you.
1126
01:15:29,358 --> 01:15:31,668
Good morning. Where's Wyatt?
1127
01:15:31,827 --> 01:15:33,272
Morning.
1128
01:15:37,433 --> 01:15:39,242
You're up early.
1129
01:15:40,202 --> 01:15:42,512
I didn't want to wake you.
1130
01:15:43,739 --> 01:15:45,446
Look at this.
1131
01:15:46,108 --> 01:15:50,454
He thanked us and he's looking forward
to the Second Renaissance. That's it.
1132
01:15:51,714 --> 01:15:53,250
Odd.
Mm-hm.
1133
01:15:55,051 --> 01:15:57,861
So I was thinking.
1134
01:15:58,554 --> 01:16:02,627
I thought we might take a trip,
a little getaway.
1135
01:16:02,792 --> 01:16:04,135
How scandalous.
1136
01:16:04,794 --> 01:16:06,137
You're a married man.
1137
01:16:07,463 --> 01:16:09,238
There you go, sir.
1138
01:16:10,266 --> 01:16:11,609
Where are we going?
1139
01:16:12,535 --> 01:16:15,072
You remember that folder
with the strange engine?
1140
01:16:15,237 --> 01:16:16,614
Yeah.
1141
01:16:16,772 --> 01:16:20,310
I thought we might visit the Twentieth
Century Motor Company in Wisconsin.
1142
01:16:20,976 --> 01:16:22,319
When do we leave?
1143
01:16:24,146 --> 01:16:27,286
it's a real mystery why the
Twentieth Century Motor Company failed.
1144
01:16:27,450 --> 01:16:29,487
it's no mystery.
Bad ideas brought it down.
1145
01:16:29,652 --> 01:16:30,722
Ideas?
1146
01:16:30,886 --> 01:16:33,992
As I understand it,
the company flattened the wage scale...
1147
01:16:34,156 --> 01:16:36,659
...and still paid everyone
according to their needs...
1148
01:16:36,826 --> 01:16:38,806
...not according to their contributions.
1149
01:16:39,628 --> 01:16:43,667
Why all these stupid altruistic
urges? It's not being charitable or fair.
1150
01:16:43,833 --> 01:16:46,177
What is it with people today?
1151
01:16:48,938 --> 01:16:50,815
So after a short while, no surprise...
1152
01:16:50,973 --> 01:16:53,977
...the smartest managers
and the better workers left the company.
1153
01:16:54,143 --> 01:16:57,147
But hundreds of remaining staff
couldn't handle it alone.
1154
01:17:02,418 --> 01:17:03,522
Service dropped...
1155
01:17:03,686 --> 01:17:06,997
...quality in their once-great products
was gone, and that was that.
1156
01:17:07,156 --> 01:17:10,501
The Twentieth Century Motor Company
went under.
1157
01:17:10,659 --> 01:17:12,696
That's depressing.
1158
01:17:20,536 --> 01:17:23,107
Looks like they just walked away.
1159
01:17:25,374 --> 01:17:27,115
Not much here.
1160
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,826
It's too bad.
1161
01:17:33,782 --> 01:17:36,626
I'd really like to figure out
what happened here.
1162
01:17:40,222 --> 01:17:41,860
Dagny.
1163
01:18:04,747 --> 01:18:07,557
This is it.
This is where they made the engine.
1164
01:18:08,417 --> 01:18:10,260
Do you think it's here?
1165
01:18:12,888 --> 01:18:15,698
Why would they leave all this stuff here?
1166
01:18:15,858 --> 01:18:18,862
Some of this is incredibly sophisticated.
1167
01:18:19,028 --> 01:18:21,008
It's unbelievable.
1168
01:18:37,846 --> 01:18:39,382
Hank?
1169
01:18:45,621 --> 01:18:47,965
Atmospheric vacuum.
What?
1170
01:18:48,123 --> 01:18:50,967
This motor uses the Casimir effect.
1171
01:18:51,460 --> 01:18:54,407
It's this small particle accelerator.
1172
01:18:54,563 --> 01:18:57,305
It throws small helium particles
into heavier particles.
1173
01:18:57,466 --> 01:19:01,642
And this must be
a secondary cooling system.
1174
01:19:01,804 --> 01:19:05,149
Probably designed to eliminate excess heat
generated during the process.
1175
01:19:05,307 --> 01:19:10,484
Exactly, and this creates a magnetic field
in place long enough...
1176
01:19:10,646 --> 01:19:13,286
...for the collapsing vacuum pressure
to be captured.
1177
01:19:13,449 --> 01:19:17,454
An engine that uses atmospheric vacuum
to create static electricity.
1178
01:19:18,053 --> 01:19:21,125
Now, does it say anywhere
on this document who designed this thing?
1179
01:19:21,290 --> 01:19:22,598
I don't see any names.
1180
01:19:22,758 --> 01:19:25,329
We could get a list
of the building employees
1181
01:19:25,494 --> 01:19:27,167
We'd go to the town hall of records.
1182
01:19:27,329 --> 01:19:30,469
Find the last owner of the factory.
We'd track it back from there.
1183
01:19:32,434 --> 01:19:35,074
Dagny, this could change the world.
1184
01:19:38,607 --> 01:19:43,283
That factory has had along line of owners
and the records are not complete.
1185
01:19:43,445 --> 01:19:45,618
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
1186
01:19:45,781 --> 01:19:47,783
Okay.
So I guess this is our starting point.
1187
01:19:47,950 --> 01:19:50,021
I bought it in a bankruptcy sale
1188
01:19:50,185 --> 01:19:53,291
From a guy named Eugene Lawson.
1189
01:19:53,455 --> 01:19:56,197
Do you got any idea
how we might contact Mr. Lawson?
1190
01:19:56,358 --> 01:19:58,269
He's in Washington now.
1191
01:19:58,427 --> 01:20:02,876
At the Bureau of Economic Planning
and National Resources, I think.
1192
01:20:03,032 --> 01:20:07,481
My goal is social progress,
universal prosperity.
1193
01:20:07,636 --> 01:20:10,048
Welfare of the nation
is my primary consideration...
1194
01:20:10,205 --> 01:20:13,049
...to which I wouldn't hesitate
to sacrifice anyone's profit.
1195
01:20:13,208 --> 01:20:16,121
Well, Mr. Rearden, you must be
awfully proud of your man Mouch.
1196
01:20:16,278 --> 01:20:19,657
He's doing big things in Colorado
to help the nation.
1197
01:20:19,815 --> 01:20:23,388
I no longer have interest in Mr. Mouch.
1198
01:20:23,819 --> 01:20:25,298
Oh.
1199
01:20:25,454 --> 01:20:27,058
I see.
1200
01:20:27,723 --> 01:20:31,193
Well, that's, uh-- That's too bad.
1201
01:20:35,364 --> 01:20:37,139
Jed Starnes.
1202
01:20:37,566 --> 01:20:40,137
Excuse me?
Jed Starnes.
1203
01:20:40,302 --> 01:20:43,181
He was an engineer
at the Twentieth Century Motor Company.
1204
01:20:43,339 --> 01:20:45,046
I hope that helps.
1205
01:20:45,207 --> 01:20:47,414
My father was an evil man.
1206
01:20:47,576 --> 01:20:50,887
But surely, he must have mentioned
something about work?
1207
01:20:51,046 --> 01:20:53,048
A motor perhaps?
1208
01:20:53,215 --> 01:20:55,422
The chief engineer was William Hastings.
1209
01:20:55,818 --> 01:20:58,856
He quit the day
after we introduced the plan.
1210
01:20:59,021 --> 01:21:01,194
You'll find him in Brandon, Wyoming.
1211
01:21:02,157 --> 01:21:05,695
My husband died
five years ago, Miss Taggart.
1212
01:21:05,861 --> 01:21:08,034
Did he ever mention a motor he created?
1213
01:21:08,197 --> 01:21:10,609
It was his young assistant.
1214
01:21:10,766 --> 01:21:14,236
William always said
he was, oh, ahead of his time
1215
01:21:14,403 --> 01:21:16,713
Called him a genius.
1216
01:21:17,072 --> 01:21:19,848
Do you know where we might be able
to find that man today?
1217
01:21:20,008 --> 01:21:22,511
Oh, I have no idea.
1218
01:21:22,678 --> 01:21:27,957
He did keep in touch with a professor
that he had at the Patrick Henry University.
1219
01:21:28,117 --> 01:21:30,723
Hugh Akston was his name.
I know that name.
1220
01:21:30,886 --> 01:21:32,456
Do you know where he is?
1221
01:21:32,621 --> 01:21:39,061
Well, Mr. Akston was rumored to have
opened a roadside diner near Cheyenne.
1222
01:21:41,563 --> 01:21:43,099
I gotta get back to my mills.
1223
01:21:43,265 --> 01:21:45,643
Now?
I have a business to run.
1224
01:21:45,801 --> 01:21:48,247
We can't quit now, Hank.
You're so close.
1225
01:21:48,404 --> 01:21:51,942
Imagine what will happen if we find
the inventor and get it up and running.
1226
01:21:52,107 --> 01:21:55,577
Okay, give me a few days.
I'll meet you in Colorado.
1227
01:22:01,917 --> 01:22:03,123
Hi, Dagny. Hank.
1228
01:22:03,285 --> 01:22:05,822
I'm back.
I just want to see how you're doing.
1229
01:22:05,988 --> 01:22:08,229
I'm great.
I'm heading up to Akston's diner now.
1230
01:22:08,390 --> 01:22:11,667
Eddie on the other line, I'll call you back.
Hey, Eddie, what's up?
1231
01:22:11,827 --> 01:22:14,137
The Union of Locomotive Engineers
is demanding...
1232
01:22:14,296 --> 01:22:18,676
...that all trains on the John Galt Line
be reduced from 100 to 60 miles an hour.
1233
01:22:18,834 --> 01:22:20,677
If we don't comply, as of right now...
1234
01:22:20,836 --> 01:22:25,285
...Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah
are not allowing any trains into Colorado.
1235
01:22:25,441 --> 01:22:27,682
- This is madness.
- That's not all, Dagny.
1236
01:22:27,843 --> 01:22:29,754
Orren Boyle is campaigning for a bill...
1237
01:22:29,912 --> 01:22:32,324
...that would limit the production
of Rearden Metal.
1238
01:22:32,481 --> 01:22:35,360
Is that my sister on the phone?
Let me talk to her.
1239
01:22:35,517 --> 01:22:37,690
Where the hell are you?
1240
01:22:37,853 --> 01:22:39,855
Do you have any idea
what's happening here?
1241
01:22:40,022 --> 01:22:42,093
Jim, this is your battle. I've fought mine.
1242
01:22:42,257 --> 01:22:44,168
They're your friends. You stop them.
1243
01:22:51,934 --> 01:22:55,541
Dr. Akston, I was wondering
if you remember a young engineer...
1244
01:22:55,704 --> 01:22:59,709
...who worked at the Twentieth Century
Motor Corporation about 10 years ago.
1245
01:22:59,875 --> 01:23:02,822
He worked with a man
named William Hastings.
1246
01:23:03,645 --> 01:23:05,852
Could you tell me where to find him?
1247
01:23:06,982 --> 01:23:09,223
Does this car get good mileage?
1248
01:23:09,885 --> 01:23:12,195
Is he still alive?
1249
01:23:12,721 --> 01:23:14,564
Is there anything that you can tell me?
1250
01:23:16,058 --> 01:23:19,164
I've traveled a very long way to be here
1251
01:23:19,561 --> 01:23:21,040
Yeah.
1252
01:23:21,196 --> 01:23:23,176
You got a long way to go too.
1253
01:23:26,635 --> 01:23:29,844
Excuse me. I have to be heading home.
1254
01:23:30,739 --> 01:23:32,719
Dr. Akston? One more question.
1255
01:23:32,875 --> 01:23:36,152
I need the name of your student
who worked at Twentieth Century Motor--
1256
01:23:36,311 --> 01:23:39,884
I know why you're here, Miss Taggart.
Do you?
1257
01:23:40,048 --> 01:23:42,528
The secret you're trying to solve,
it's greater...
1258
01:23:42,684 --> 01:23:48,600
...and I mean much greater than an engine
that runs on atmospheric electricity.
1259
01:23:54,229 --> 01:23:55,264
Good luck.
1260
01:23:55,430 --> 01:23:59,242
I'm not gonna give up
trying to find the inventor of that motor.
1261
01:23:59,401 --> 01:24:02,678
Oh, don't worry, Miss Taggart.
He'll find you.
1262
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:06,446
- You all set?
- Yeah.
1263
01:24:06,608 --> 01:24:08,246
Okay.
1264
01:24:12,281 --> 01:24:14,591
The Equalization of Opportunity Laws.
1265
01:24:14,750 --> 01:24:17,253
Coffee?
Yes.
1266
01:24:17,419 --> 01:24:19,126
Anything else?
1267
01:24:19,288 --> 01:24:21,894
We got rhubarb pie. Made it myself
1268
01:24:22,057 --> 01:24:23,593
No, I'm good. Thanks
1269
01:24:23,759 --> 01:24:27,764
Again, I think it's significant in helping
the broad spectrum ....
1270
01:24:27,930 --> 01:24:29,409
Could you turn that up, please?
1271
01:24:29,565 --> 01:24:31,238
Government is overstepping its bounds?
1272
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:32,640
Colorado is a rich state.
1273
01:24:32,801 --> 01:24:37,716
It's quite unique. It's in a position where
it can help its neighborhood needier states.
1274
01:24:37,873 --> 01:24:39,819
So I think it's a good thing, yes.
1275
01:24:40,309 --> 01:24:43,722
- And it's fair to penalize one state?
- Please.
1276
01:24:43,879 --> 01:24:47,793
You're not penalizing another state.
You're helping another state.
1277
01:24:47,950 --> 01:24:50,760
Like a Robin Hood of taking
from the rich, feeding the poor.
1278
01:24:50,919 --> 01:24:54,423
I mean, rich people are getting richer
poor people are getting poorer.
1279
01:24:54,590 --> 01:24:56,831
I heard about what Orren Boyle is up to.
Call me.
1280
01:24:56,992 --> 01:24:59,336
Breaking news
out of Wyatt Junction, Colorado.
1281
01:24:59,494 --> 01:25:02,236
A major fire has erupted
at the Wyatt Oil Field.
1282
01:25:02,397 --> 01:25:05,674
Reports are coming in that several
explosions have rocked the hillside.
1283
01:25:05,834 --> 01:25:09,281
Our news team has captured
this unedited footage on the scene.
1284
01:25:09,438 --> 01:25:12,783
As you can see, the hillside
behind me is completely engulfed in flames.
1285
01:25:12,941 --> 01:25:16,150
Fire crews have been brought in
from as far away as Denver County...
1286
01:25:16,311 --> 01:25:19,019
...to help battle the blaze,
as many as 40 acres ....
1287
01:25:23,452 --> 01:25:26,194
And zero containment at the moment.
1288
01:25:32,828 --> 01:25:37,436
My fellow Americans, Mr. Wesley Mouch.
1289
01:25:39,334 --> 01:25:41,041
Thank you. Thank you.
1290
01:25:41,203 --> 01:25:43,547
As the new coordinator...
1291
01:25:43,705 --> 01:25:45,548
...of the Bureau of Economic Planning...
1292
01:25:45,707 --> 01:25:47,050
...and National Resources...
1293
01:25:47,209 --> 01:25:49,553
...I have issued a set of directives.
1294
01:25:49,711 --> 01:25:55,889
I am placing a moratorium
on all railroad lines.
1295
01:25:56,051 --> 01:25:58,725
Additionally, under my direction...
1296
01:25:58,887 --> 01:26:04,064
...all steel mills must produce steel
at the same level and output...
1297
01:26:04,226 --> 01:26:08,868
...and distribute it
according to the needs of the people.
1298
01:26:11,500 --> 01:26:16,848
Furthermore, big companies
will no longer be permitted...
1299
01:26:17,005 --> 01:26:23,513
...to abandon their present states
and move to wealthier states like Colorado.
1300
01:26:25,747 --> 01:26:31,197
Finally, a federal tax will be applied
to the state of Colorado...
1301
01:26:31,353 --> 01:26:34,596
...in order to equalize
the national economy.
1302
01:26:36,925 --> 01:26:38,529
Thank you.
He gave a good speech.
1303
01:26:39,561 --> 01:26:41,507
Thank you very much.
1304
01:26:49,738 --> 01:26:51,240
Thank you.
1305
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,543
Welcome to my town, James.
1306
01:27:16,732 --> 01:27:17,972
Move it
1307
01:27:21,269 --> 01:27:24,250
Lady, stop. You can't go in there.
1308
01:27:27,409 --> 01:27:29,047
Ellis.
1309
01:27:32,814 --> 01:27:34,760
Ellis.
1310
01:27:42,491 --> 01:27:44,334
Ellis.
1311
01:27:47,929 --> 01:27:49,602
Ellis Wyatt?
1312
01:27:49,765 --> 01:27:51,176
Who the hell are you?
1313
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:53,507
My name is John Galt.
1314
01:27:53,668 --> 01:27:55,978
I five in a place we calf Atlantis.
1315
01:27:56,138 --> 01:27:57,845
And I think you'd H! in there.
1316
01:27:58,006 --> 01:27:59,679
It's a place where heroes live.
1317
01:27:59,841 --> 01:28:02,014
And where those who want
to be heroes live.
1318
01:28:02,177 --> 01:28:03,679
The government we have there...
1319
01:28:03,845 --> 01:28:06,348
...respects each of us as individuals
and as producers.
1320
01:28:06,515 --> 01:28:10,019
Actually, beyond a few courthouses,
there's not much of a government at all.
1321
01:28:10,185 --> 01:28:11,459
Bottom line, Mr. Wyatt...
1322
01:28:11,620 --> 01:28:14,965
...if you're weary of a government
that refuses to limit power over you...
1323
01:28:15,123 --> 01:28:18,161
...and if you're ready to claim
the moral right to your own life...
1324
01:28:18,326 --> 01:28:19,430
...then we should leave.
1325
01:28:19,594 --> 01:28:23,007
And I'll take you there.
I'll take you to Atlantis.
1326
01:28:23,965 --> 01:28:27,538
No!
1327
01:29:01,136 --> 01:29:03,810
This is Ellis Wyatt. I'm gone.
1328
01:29:03,972 --> 01:29:06,418
Don't try to find me. You won't.
1329
01:29:06,575 --> 01:29:09,579
I am on strike.
1330
01:36:45,933 --> 01:36:46,934
